Octopus Brainstorming is a series of collaborative works with professor and neuroscientist Mark Cohen, who created and co-directs the UCLA/Semel NeuroImaging Training Program. Together we are exploring the possibilities of brain to brain communication. For me, these are part of a larger area of research into the physical associates of mental processes such as emotions and feelings. It was first presented at the Beall gallery of Art + Technology at UC Irvine as part of the retrospective exhibition of a decade of collaboration with nanoscientist James Gimzewski. It has evolved since to include the idea of embodied intelligence in the form of an octopus crown worn by participants.
