Pipilotti Rist - Your Brain to Me, My Brain to You

National Museum of Qatar

Your Brain to Me, My Brain to You is a new large-scale immersive video installation by internationally renowned Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist (b. 1962). Commissioned by the National Museum to meet the unique dimensions of its gallery, the video is the artist’s first museum installation in the Middle East.



 

The installation invites visitors to embark on a journey of self-discovery through a multisensory experience that inspires introspection and awe. A key feature of the work are “pixels” that comprise 12,000 LED lights strung on cables throughout the gallery for visitors to navigate. Representing neurons, constantly firing and communicating with each other, the pulsing resin-encased bulbs have been programmed in choreography with a soundscape and featuring abstract footage of Qatar’s landscapes. Your Brain to Me, My Brain to You is curated by Qatar Museums’ Curatorial Advisor, Tom Eccles, with the National Museum’s Head of Exhibitions, Bouthayna M Baltaji.
