The surface properties were modified using my own photographs of the glacial landscapes of Patagonia as an inspiration. The virtual flight of the camera in a 3D space has been animated and the flight over a glacial landscape of the whole brain has been simulated. In total more than 11,000 images were rendered.\nThe brain is not only a repository of information: pictures, sounds, smells and feelings as well as personal and maybe even collective memories. The genes that contain the blue print for the cerebral structure result from hundreds of millions of years of evolution. .\nThe labyrinthine brain is compared with glaciers as stores of information about the Earth's climate reaching back thousands of years. The transparency of the images \u2013 a poetic journey through the amazing labyrinth of folds and canyons - make us also aware of the fragility of the brain as much as the fragility of the glacier and the immense amount of information which has accumulated over a long time - and which is in danger of being lost for future generations. \nAs a projection landscape, Brainscape illustrates the transition between human development and nature. This work addresses in this respect the fundamental questions of our time as interface between the realm of nature and global interdependency, environment and life.","space":"Back projection through an oval-shapeded window as part of \"Dark Gravity\".  The visitors experience the work  looking  through a porthole. The sound composition of cello music by Dr. Johannes Sistermanns is further emphasizing the impression of a fragile ice landscape.  Alternatively I showed the work as a square projection at Nevada Museum of Art in the US.Due to the meditative quality of the  work it would be best shown  in its own space.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"GRIFFITHS","surname":"HELGA","email":"HELGA@HELGAGRIFFITHS.DE","dni_type":"Other","dni":"C5KTZT36Y","address":"BAUSTRASSE 88","city":"D-64372 OBER-RAMSTADT","nacionality":"GERMAN","country_id":"61","birthdate":"1959-12-15T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1959-12-15T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+49-6154-4487    +0152 216 32790","web":"www.helgagriffiths.de"}
