Tools for Understanding and Remembering

ArtScienceTechnologyEnvironmentCommunity
Written By Joshua Sariñana

A roundtable discussion with two neuroscientists, a choreographer, designer/artist, and environment and community organizer exploring how we make sense of self in the context of our environment and the tools that enable or hinder our journey of understanding and remembering who we are and what we have experienced. The conversation was sparked by a multidisciplinary project conceived of by neuroscientist, artist, and writer Joshua Sariñana. His project, Mental Mapping: the art of exploring connections, highlights the relationships between artificial intelligence, the brain, and social networks.
