Society of neurons: an arts/science project

Published: 12 April 2005 Publication History

Abstract

This artwork is one of the deliverables of an arts/science initiative supported by an interdisciplinary program run by Arts Council England and the Arts and Humanities Research Board of the UK. The artwork has two forms: one is a dynamically changing website and the other is a series of three-dimensional sculptures, each of which records a segment of history of the website. The website itself---which we think of as a web brain---evolves using principles that model those that are posited as the processes that happen in brains as they learn. The website evolution is informed by interaction with a large community of users and therefore acts as a collective memory of a society of individuals.
