Information
The NeuroTech Art Exhibition will hold two art exhibitions related to neuroscience and neuroengineering as an attempt to bring science, technology and art into dialogue. Through the exhibition, we hope engage the public with the beauty and the complexity of the mysterious brain. In addition, we wish discover/rediscover values that science and technology bring to unravel its mystery. The “Brain Art Gallery”, displaying photographs related to brain research collected from public submissions, will be held at the lobby on the first floor. The installation artwork “Unraveling the Deep” by artist Tomoki Iwama will be exhibited in the conference room on the second floor. Regardless of participation in the parallel scientific symposium, anyone is welcome to join the exhibition. Admission is free.

About “Unraveling the Deep”
In the 2F conference room, we will exhibit the installation artwork “Unraveling the Deep” by Tomoki Iwama, who is active as an artist. Iwama has been producing works that reconstruct from a material perspective the phenomena that include humans and the world that surrounds them. We will exhibit artworks that the artist has created through contemplation on the question of what neuroscience, which is closest to the material essence of humans, brings to us, and how it might interact with us.
