Convergence, Material

Visual Voice Gallery is delighted to present Convergence, a dyad of complementary exhibitions which fuse visual art and neuroscience. The showcased artworks are the collaborative efforts of a group of fine art students from Concordia University and neuroscience students from McGill University. Over the past five months, the students have learned about each other's research through lectures and studio/lab visits, leading to in-depth dialogues about the brain, the mind, perception, emotion, and illusion.

Based on the neuroscientists' cutting-edge research, the artists developed innovative and reflexive art pieces that subvert, critique, and play with the scientific concepts. The resulting artworks connect scientific data to the human experience by moving from the objective to the subjective, from the general to the personal, and from the abstract to the emotional.
