Hello Brain - You shape my world, my world shapes you.

Our new exhibition brings you inside the marvellous and mysterious world in your head. We created an immersive and analogue interactive giant ‘brain’ environment for visitors to explore. A temporary exhibition in a challenging space, with little ‘real world’ object but a floating ceiling landscape of mirroring connections transversed by knitted neurons, sensory socks and tactile brains.

The complex story of our brain is framed as a curiosity wall portraying sequences of research by real-world scientists, facts and experiments personalised through a scenography of cut-outs, illustrations and silhouettes, and allowing victors to learn and relate to their own experiences.
