Helen Storey Neurogenesis

2018
Holition
Interactive Kinetic Installation

Working with sisters Kate and Helen Storey, Holition was asked to join their research exploration as a collaborator to produce an interactive exhibition that would convey how our nervous systems form.

Motion-tracking technology was used to establish an intimate relationship between the viewer and key steps that advance neurogenesis. Helen’s dress, in a continuing process of degeneration, was snagged across tree branches to form a stark shadow, which provided the backdrop for film projection triggered by human precence, revealing the next stage in neuron generation.
