How does this artwork elucidate its Description?
Temporal Synapse is a 2013 six-part permanent, reactive art installation by Project One, the collaboration between artists and architects Kyle Perry and Adam Buente. Inspired by the physicality of synapses in the brain, which permit signals between cells, allowing data and information to surge through the body, the artists set out to mimic this communication process outside the body, between users and their environment.Located in the elevator bays on the first six levels of Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital, these Temporal Synapse feature walls consist of cast acrylic panels that feature a graphic pattern based upon cellular structures found within the body. Through the use of a fisheye camera, video tracking technology tracks visitors’ positions in space, which, in turn, directs reciprocal “cells” to light up, visually representing the interaction between those waiting and their environment. While each of the panels measure 149" in width, they range in height from 95"-107", depending on ceiling height.
