- Sunday, 7 August 2022
The Museum of Contemporary Art and Culture in Barcelona (Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona) has featured the Ph.D. work of Dr Sameer Kishore at its exhibition titled “Brain(s)” (Open from July 27 – December 11).
This exhibition explores both the anatomy of the brain and everything that it generates: consciousness, abstract thinking, language, imagination, dreams, and memory. Curated by physicist and biologist Ricard Solé and by Emily Sargent, curator of the Wellcome Collection, the exhibition presents some 300 pieces including 17 contemporary immersive art installations and audio-visual works, pieces from historical collections (including work by René Descartes and Santiago Ramon y Cajal) and the results of projects of scientific research into the brain.
Sameer’s work that is featured was carried out during his PhD at the EventLab in the University of Barcelona. The humanoid robot that he used to develop the telepresence system is on display, along with several videos of the system in action, including news clips by the BBC (UK).
