Event Details

Join us for the opening night of THE UNDIVIDED MIND, an art installation by THE IMAGINARY FOUNDATION.

UPDATE - 11/19:

HUNT FOR THE HIGGS

The mythological Higgs boson has eluded physicists since its existence was theorized in 1964 by François Englert and Robert Brout.

The first attendee to find the Higgs Equation embedded on the walls of The Undivided Mind will receive a one-of-a-kind oil painting of Albert Einstein, painted by The Director of The Imaginary Foundation.

If you think you’ve found it, find an Imaginary Foundation event staffer (Undivivded mind t-shirt), and point it out to them.

GENERAL INFORMATION

"Physics is a form of insight and as such it's a form of art." -David Bohm

The artist and scientist may at first seem strange bedfellows. Of the many human disciplines, there are few that could seem more divergent. The artist employs image and metaphor; the scientist uses number and equation. Art creates illusions meant to evoke emotion, while science engages in the pursuit of empirical verification. There is, to some degree, a physiological cause for this apparent divergence: the two halves, or hemispheres, of the brain.

The right side of the brain is responsible for emotions and intuition, the left for logic and reason. Yet the notion of two brains gives rise to the function of one mind. Perhaps it is this one “undivided mind” that presents a way forward through the monumental cultural changes we now face, enabling us to surf this dynamic moment in history from a platform of balance and symmetry.

This installation endeavors to fuse the aesthetic beauty of art and science in order to create a synthesis of mind, one which is as much rational as it is fantastic. Think of this undivided mind as a prototype of human possibility, an evolutionary signal of convergence, harmony, and accelerated progress. The rest is up to us.

Admission is free.
