17th Biennale of Sydney
Roxy Paine had made a series of large structures based on the forms of trees with their roots exposed that have been handmade out of industrial stainless steel pipe. These works are generically called Dendroids. Neuron 2010 continues this idea, focusing even more on dandrites and synapses, the means by which information, knowledge and experience are electronically transmitted through a body........[excerpts from information board]
Neuron 2010, MCA, Circular Quay, Sydney, Australia
Nature has a similar design for our brain cells and the branches of a tree. Some of them are more similar than others. I found one looking quite the same.
The extended neural self. Neuroplastic influence of integrated circuits. Control units, instruction units, and registries slowly influencing the arrangement of neurons.

Neurons are stimulated in various ways. There are some specialized neurons that convert the physical energy of our environment into a neural signal. These neurons are called receptors. The receptors are the ones found in the retina and are responsible for converting light energy to an electrochemical neural signal for vision.
We have noted elsewhere that when light (a photon) is absorbed by photopigments in the outersegment of our receptors it causes the photopigment to change its shape; a process called isomerization. When this isomerization occurs, an electrophysiological process is initiated that results in signals being sent through our retina and up into the brain. The end result is that we say that "we saw something."
3D (2/3)
For my final 3D project, I chose to transform my monkey's fist knots into a "jewelry" piece. Previously, the knots varied in stages of life. They went from the beginning stages of being tied, to a completed fist, all the way to being worn and tattered over time. I chose to transform this process of change into a jewelry piece to have it truly become an infinite and binding process of change. The jewelry portion represents something that is always with us as well. The fact that it almost creates a "web" of sorts also is symbolic, in that our neurological makeup resembles a web/linking unit of neurons. To transform this piece I weaved the strands throughout one another and fastened them together.
