mi/e-metic self – Building a slave to the digital media’s consumer culture

Author Filip VisnjicCategory Arduino Members Processing People Posted on:

Created by Saurabh Datta, 'mi/e-metic self' is an installation that represents a sculptural being, a memetic representation of an evolved us. Inspired by the work of Patricia S. Churchland on Neuro-Philosophy where she tries to explain the basic neuroscience by giving simplified analogies of different nervous systems to machine systems, Saurabh built an embodied installation, a metaphor, a form of a slave to the digital media’s consumer culture.
