Two human brains connected

Researchers Rajesh Rao and Andrea Stocco from the University of Washington have connected two human brains together for the first time, allowing one subject to control the other’s finger on a keyboard remotely, through the power of thought. The scientists had one subject wearing an electrode studded cap play a video game in one lab, whilst another, without a screen but with a keyboard, sat in the next room along. He was able to tap the keyboard and play the game without being able to see the screen, proving the theory.

This recent work is a reflection on the problem of our new digital world. Currently, at any stage of its creation, and idea or concept is digitally adapted. What will be retained in the future? What will happen to all of these billions of megabytes we stock on computers ? In 10 years ? In 500 years ? Colliding the esthetic of modern minimalist Apple products with the classical architecture of the Louvre Museum, the viewer is forced to asses the question of new creation in our modern society.
