This interactive holographic installation, titled 1Stein and inspired by Phineas Gage, shows a 3D brain connected to AI. As visitors ask questions, only certain regions respond, simulating damage-linked disruptions. Gage’s case revealed how brain injury can alter identity. In this context, panic arises from confronting the fragility of personality and how easily core traits can shift. The piece invites us to question what defines us, and how close we may be to losing control of our own sense of self.
