Artist Gemma Wood MA created the concept of Being Now Here for the development of immersive environments and impactful art installations for festivals and exhibitions. Her work is uplifting, thought-provoking and offers the public a truly memorable experience. She has a background in social engagement and has collaborated with a multitude of craftsmen, engineers and communities to deliver unique creative workshops.
Gemma contacted Glow Inflatables Ltd with a vision; to create a pair of giant electrical neurons for display at the Deer Shed contemporary arts festival at Baldersby Park, North Yorkshire. She worked closely with Jenny, our creative director, to explore the concept of the transmission of thoughts and create a design that could also be used as part of a large neural network through connectivity.
The most exciting element of the already beautiful visual display was the LED light that chased through the piece from one to another. Gemma coupled these elements with sound from the broken orchestra so when walking in and around the piece it felt like you were walking through someone’s thoughts. Visitors to the Deer Shed Festival could enter the imaginary mind and experience the messages as they flashed from neuron to neuron.
The artist said that the spectators really understood what the concept was and enjoyed it. ‘’The installation worked brilliantly; people were interested day and night but especially as the lights became visible.’’

Inside every adolescent brain, 86 billion neurons connect and collide to produce the most frustrating, chaotic and exhilarating changes that will ever happen to us.
#LYTMindYourHead
Lyceum Youth Theatre and Traverse Young Writers present Mind Your Head, a double bill of performances which examines the hot topic of mental wellbeing for young people today.
Each evening show will feature Brainstorm, exploring the complexities of the adolescent brain in a unique performance conceived by a playwright, a neuroscientist and partially devised by the LYT cast themselves.
Brainstorm will be paired with a selection of short scenes by the Traverse Young Writers who have responded to themes of the science and biology behind emotions, and nature verses nurture
What does happiness mean? Is it material or emotional? Controlled by circumstances or temperament?
