The universe is an ensemble of atoms and electromagnetic fields that vibrate and resonate. Particles and energies that our brain turns into colours, smells, fragrances and tastes, generating a flow of emotions that give meaning to our lives. The whole world we live in is created by the way reality is reflected in our minds.
Cortex explores the sense of sight. As our eyes capture light, our mind turns the frequencies of the colours reflected by all objects into electric impulses. These impulses reach our cortex, where billions of neurons are responsible for making sense of what we see. By observing Cortex, the viewer gets the feeling of being immersed in a flow of particles travelling at the speed of light: particles that might turn into delicate reflections - slightly visible - or into violent lightstorms enwrapping the viewer.
