In the natural world, humans are the only species capable of consciously altering their environment and, in doing so, actively reshaping their own brain. Our relationship with the world is no longer one of simple subject-object separation; it has evolved into a deep state of symbiosis. The interaction between the brain within and the external world is not merely a one-way influence between biology and socio-culture but a dynamic balance in which both are intertwined and mutually shaped. Art plays a crucial role in this process—it is not only a medium for perception and expression but also a profound reflection of humanity’s symbiotic relationship with the environment.

This exhibition breaks free from the functionalist framework of positivism, centering instead on the exploration of (non)functional solutions, aiming to reveal and present new cultural paradigms. Collaborating with artists and practitioners from various interdisciplinary backgrounds, the exhibition explores the multiple relationships between humans and the environment, humans and society, as well as humans and each other, unveiling a symbiotic landscape that is as intricate and interwoven as a neural network. Our relationships with objects, the natural environment, technological mediums, and other people are not isolated fragments but part of a complex system of interdependence and mutual influence. The senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch serve as sensory bridges through which humans interact with the world, connecting us to the array of perceptions and experiences in our external environment. These sensory experiences not only shape our understanding of the world but also profoundly impact our neural structures, enabling the brain to continuously adapt and reshape itself in this ongoing.
