Vivid Affinity
This striking Vivid installation illustrates the complexity and connectivity of the human brain. It's the creation of industrial design firm Amigo and Amigo and technology company S1T2, and explores the effects of Alzheimer's disease on electrochemical activity in the brain (not to mention the camera's colour sensors).
Touching the sculpture triggers a colour response. Purple light represents the emergence of Alzheimer’s disease. When the purple path reaches a neuron, it disconnects, signifying that memories will be lost.
For the technically minded, "Affinity" features Onled LED's lighting and 19 Intel Galileo boards in an interactive display using over 56 colours, 114 capacitive sensors and 4200 meters of LED strip lighting. There are 70 balls each with six sensors, and about 48 arms.
