Split brain (2007) by Donato Canosa

 

Donato Canosa's installation centres around the 'split-brain' pathology. It consists of four synchronised monitors split into two groups by see-through blinds. Two of the monitors show videos representing motor synchronisation deficits typical of individuale afflicted with split-brain disorder. The two other monitors show tests adopted to identify those deficits. The 'split' view offered to the spectators makes it impossible for them to grasp a unitary vision of the two sets of images at the same time, letting them go through the experience of the main symptom of the disorder.
