Joshua Sariñana’s architectural photography series, Image of Structure, was featured in Float Magazine. Known for highlighting contemporary photography across all genres, Float provides a dynamic platform for both emerging and established artists.

Image of Structure explores the relationship between architecture and cognition, using high-contrast black-and-white compositions to examine how spatial environments influence perception and memory. Drawing from his background in neuroscience, Sariñana’s series presents architectural forms as visual metaphors for the structured yet fluid nature of thought.

Dr. Joshua Sariñana’s artistic practice is deeply rooted in his background as a neuroscientist, integrating his expertise in cognition and spatial navigation with fine art photography. Always carrying a camera, he captures the everyday environments he moves through, often focusing on architectural forms like the MIT Stata Center. While commonly photographed, he challenges himself to create unique images that transcend the ordinary. Learn More

Photography, Memory, and the Future explores how photography serves as a bridge between memory and imagination, grounding the past while shaping our understanding of the future. It highlights the inaccuracies of human memory and the role of photographs as stable placeholders for recalling personal and collective histories. Discussing the brain's visual and memory systems, the lecture delves into the hippocampus's integration of space and time for episodic memory, emphasizing that individuals with memory deficits cannot imagine future scenarios without visual aids. Through examples from iconic photographs to neuroscientific insights, the lecture underscores the emotional, societal, and personal significance of photography in memory formation and its transformative potential for envisioning the future.
