“I believe connectomes are the meeting ground for nature and nurture. The gene controls how the brain wires up, but experiences also modify the connections of the brain.”- MIT Neuroscientist, Sabastian Seung [via]
Most of you have heard of the Human Connectome Project. If not, have a look.
Using “state-of-the-art diffusion-imaging scanner” images of neural pathways are collected via a MRI looking machine, which allows scienctists to view connections of the brain “by tracking the passage of water molecules through nerve fibers, giving a more accurate picture of the brain’s structure and its neuronal pathways”. [via] Eventually, the idea is to identify connectopathies (abnormal circuits) then treat with appropriate pharmacology targeted for that area.

The fibers are color-coded by direction: red = left-right, green = anterior-posterior, blue = through brain stem.

A TOOL TO DECEIVE AND SLAUGHTER
Perpetual online auction, internet connection, custom programming and hardware, acrylic cube.
Combining Robert Morris’ Box With the Sound of Its Own Making with Baudrillard’s writing on the art auction this sculpture exists in eternal transactional flux. It is a physical sculpture that is perpetually attempting to auction itself on eBay.
Every ten minutes the black box pings a server on the internet via the ethernet connection to check if it is for sale on the eBay. If its auction has ended or it has sold, it automatically creates a new auction of itself.
If a person buys it on eBay, the current owner is required to send it to the new owner. The new owner must then plug it into ethernet, and the cycle repeats itself. -

Patti Smith
“The Rock singer Patti Smith shows her newest drawing and photos in New York at the Robert Miller Gallery in Chelsea. Patti Smith has been drawing and photographing for 40 years. Her newest photos series called “Veils” show altarpieces in Spanish Churches that are covered with plastic foils. The photos were first taken with a polaroid camera and then printed as black and white photos. The blurred, grainy pictures exude a gloomy, almost morbid atmosphere.” -
