As part of the SciArt project ASTER+S, organized by Rocío García Robles (University of Seville), international artists and students collaborated with neuroscientists to develop artistic responses to scientific research. The process followed the eco-SciArt method, which frames creativity as a natural cycle: Seed–scientific idea; Bloom–artistic concept formed in a hackathon; Fruit–final artwork. The resulting works translate scientific knowledge into sensory, emotional experiences—making complex fields like brain cell communication visible and tangible through art. In 2023, the project received the First Prize for Best Andalusian Exhibition Project and the Audience Award.

This projects is inspired by the neuroscientific theory that stochastic resonance may influence what we consciously perceive and what remains unconscious. According to Univ.-Prof. Dr. Peter Walla, a certain level of noise can enhance the detection of weak signals, bringing hidden information to awareness.

The installation uses fog—a material often seen as disturbance or “noise” in perception—as a temporary projection surface, revealing information otherwise unseen.

Through the interplay of light and fog’s dynamic movement, the piece visualizes the balance between clarity and obscurity, offering viewers an immersive experience where images emerge and dissolve, reminding us that information may be present, but not always accessible—and paradoxically, what disturbs perception may be key to perception itself.
