"Imagination Machine" explores one aspect of the brain I have been fascinated by, its capacity for imagination. It explores this concept by observing it as a constantly working machine, thinking in the background day or night. Through an exploration of both material and animating without planning, I aimed to tap into the deepest parts of my imagination. While the brain itself is the central command for imagination, the work references the body as a system, behaving as an ecosystem that helps to further power the brain.
