ANN-A
An abstract visualization of a human neural network
ANN-A is an immersive installation that reimagines the human brain as a network of light, offering a tangible glimpse into the complex and dynamic processes of human thought. This abstract visualization translates the invisible flow of neural activity—synapses firing, impressions forming, thoughts emerging—into a vivid sensory experience.
Using light as its primary medium, ANN-A simulates the connections within a neural network, mirroring the way the brain processes information and forms memories. Just as the brain functions as a high-tech organic computer, constantly adapting and responding to stimuli, the installation reacts and evolves, allowing viewers to engage with the concept of cognition in a poetic and intuitive way.
Presented at Château RW9, the project was conceived and realized by Florian Bruggisser, Nina Fuchs, Luis Balzer, Alex Lehmann, Marc Fuchs, and Thomas Steiner.

Building upon our previous project Spore, ANN-A represents a further exploration into the intersection of technology, cognition, machine learning and art. Developed in collaboration with the Swiss art collective Bildspur
