Neuroscientist Marcus E. Raichle suggests that daydreaming acts as a stress response, regulating external stimuli. He posits that while daydreaming, brain circuits enter a closed state, generating „random noise“ akin to a TV without signal or a sleeping computer. Contrasting this with personal experience, I have noticed unconscious daydreaming is common.
Recording its frequency, I have sought to digitize and incorporate this data into my artwork, visually representing the brain’s random noise.
