How do mechanical and magnetic forces affect brain cells? How do structure and communication change under stress? This installation translates the delicate interplay of these forces into a dynamic, interactive sculpture. Diverse cell-actants move, respond to visitors, and generate fluctuating light patterns. Communication and overstimulation become visible, culminating in enforced stillness. The fragile choreography of neuronal processes is transformed into a sensory experience.
