Great to be part of (H)akt – met lots of interesting people and had many discussions about art’s relationship to social change.
Gave a talk as part of the show about attempts to ‘hack’ malfuctioning brain systems and some of the things I’d observed at the hospital and the consequences and implications of being able to make changes to our brain waves like this.
Interesting questions on the implications for disability and conceptions of mental health.
