Conditions for Neurotransmission [P.O.V.]

Transmitting information is inherent in today's networked Internet Age.

The information structures of our digital surroundings resemble the inner transmitting systems of nerves and their contacts, the synapses. With the help of messenger substances, neurotransmitters like serotonin pass on information and thereby activate inner systems. In her exhibition Conditions for Neurotransmission [P.O.V.] artist Annabelle Craven-Jones visualizes the mutual effects of both information systems and reveals how the digital conditions for transmission and the physical settings for neurotransmission are intertwined, unstable and in constant flux. Craven-Jones points to non-location, disembodiment and distortion of conditions for neurotransmission as profound impacts on the physical and psychological well-being caused by living in the Digital Age.
