Prejudiced thoughts run through all of our minds and affect the world immensely. Why don’t we try to let these thoughts go and think different?
The structure of the brain (i.e. physical appearance) defines only for a small part who we are and what we do. More relevant is brain function (i.e. the electrical signals that travel through the brain).
The brain defines a human being. It weighs approximately 1400 grams and it is estimated to contain up to 85 billion neurons. These neurons form an extremely complex network that eventually defines our personality, cognitive functions (e.g. memory, attention and problem solving) and emotions. This sculpture of your own brain makes it possible to literally hold the substance that defines yourself in your own hands.
More information about the proces of creating a bronze sculputure of your own brain, including the MRI-scan, can be found on www.art-within.nl (Dutch).
