About this artwork

The works of the "transCerebral" cycle are à critical and satirical reflexion on the ambiguous role of the brain in our society. Far from being the simple instrument of rationality it is supposed to be, our brain often acts as undercover agent at the service of our most sordid instincts, sneakily substituting rationality by rationalization. Metaphor of the schizophrenic condition of human intelligence, these images denounce the alarming discrepancy… between our cognitive intelligence and our incapacity to transfer this knowledge into our social life.
The transCerebral series turns around two main socio-neurological problems: the lob-sided development of our (very advanced) technical intelligence on the one side and our (very retarded) ethical intelligence on the other, and, secondo; the extent of genetic and educational patterning of our brain and the consequential question about the degree of free thought and decision-making (if any) accorded to the human race.
