SYNAPSE is an interactive artwork that draws inspiration from bioinformatics, neurotransmission, and the brain's capacity for rewiring and plasticity. The piece visualizes the intricate networks that define how we process information, adapt, and change. As viewers engage with the work, they manipulate a system based on neural pathways evolving over time. Just as the brain strengthens connections and forms new ones in response to experience, the artwork dynamically adapts, reshaping itself based on user input.

By using real-time interaction, SYNAPSE reflects the ongoing process of mental and neurological plasticity, where the lines between action and reaction blur. It serves as a metaphor for the adaptive nature of both the human mind and the digital systems that increasingly mirror it, offering viewers an immersive experience of mental transformation and fluidity. In this way, the work invites reflection on how we, as individuals and as a society, engage with information, adapt to change, and navigate the complexities of human cognition and connection.
