2009 . Interactive Digital Art

Nerves is a digital art piece that was exhibited at Skrol, a digital art show in Vancouver, BC.

Using a touchscreen, people were able to create central forms of 'neurons,' which I programmed to make chains of intersecting branches. People were also able to modify the density of the branches, which alter how 'neurons' are connected. Nerves actively visualizes the sense that digital technology is an extension of us, while inviting people to question the evolutionary nature of digital connectivity.

The video above is a slightly sped up screen capture of a person's real-time interaction with the piece.

This project was developed with Processing.
