who thinks that scientists can't be artists need look no further
than
Dr. Greg Dunn and Dr. Brian Edwards. The neuroscientist and applied
physicist
have paired together to create an artistic series of images
that the artists describe as
“the most fundamental self-portrait ever
created.” Literally going inside, the pair has
blown up a thin slice of
the brain 22 times in a series called Self-Reflected.
Traveling
across 500,000 neurons, the images took two years to complete. Funded
by theNational Science Foundation,
Dunn and Edwards
developed special
technology for the project. Using a technique they've called reflective
microetching, they microscopicall
y manipulated the
reflectivity
of the
brain's surface. Different regions of the brain were hand painted and
digitized, later using a computer program created by Edwards
to show the
complex choreography our mind undergoes as it processes information.
