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 ideas as inspiration; Bloom – artistic concepts formed in a hackathon; Fruit – the final artworks.

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.

Project: The silent cry of the cells

The project is a fusion of art and science, where visual mapping on a kinetic object brings the hidden language of cells to life. Inspired by the delicate interplay of electrical and mechanical forces within the brain, the piece visualises the communication between different cells, revealing how signals flow, break, and reorganise. As the kinetic structure moves, it responds to projected patterns—fluctuating waves of light that echo the dynamic exchange of information within a living neural network. The installation captures both harmony and disruption, immersing the viewer in the fragile yet powerful choreography of cellular interaction, where every shift and silence carries meaning.
