BRAIN_RINTH is a multi-channel video installation that attempts a poetic mapping of memory-related brain functions through a choreography of images, sound and spatial projection. The piece unfolds as a temporal arc, opening with an Alpha and resolving with an Omega. The initial quiet gives way to a torrent of unruly images as a brain in convulsion extracts and collides memories from the past before returning to silence. Visual material ranges from clinical-looking cross sections and MRI-like references to abstract color fields and fragmented motion.

Technically the work uses multiple synchronized channels and spatialized projection to build the sensation of a labyrinth within the exhibition space. Editing tempo shifts dramatically throughout: stretches of near-silence alternate with rapid, spasmodic cuts, while the sound composition by Andreas Mniestris functions not only as accompaniment but as a temporal engine that modulates perception. Sound spatialization and channel synchronization are used deliberately to move the viewer through layers of attention and to shape a physically felt narrative of recall and disorientation.

Developed through an interdisciplinary approach combining art, medicine and technology, the installation interrogates trauma as a condition that disrupts bodily understanding and our relationship to nature. By adopting a stance of aesthetic neutrality the work asks whether distance softens fear, allowing a more lucid confrontation with difficult experience. The result is neither clinical detachment nor sentimental revelation but a measured, reflective terrain where memory is both mapped and questioned.

Conceived by Nikos Kokkalis and Stefanos Papadas with sound composition by Andreas Mniestris and produced during 2020–2021, BRAIN_RINTH engages the viewer as an active participant. The multi-channel format invites wandering and reassembly, and the contrast between silence and overwhelming visual noise creates a contemporary labyrinth of memory.
