Brain in a vat

Is the world we perceive the real world? Or is there more dimensional manipulation between matter and consciousness?
This project taking the philosophical topic "A brain in a vat that believes it is walking." as inspiration. I designed a conceptual brain interactive device. Materials include models, optical fibers, sensors, air pumps, wires and circuits, acrylic sheets, etc.
The way of interaction is that the viewer can control its "activity" or "decay" with their hands by approaching the brain in the tank, playing the role of the "hand of God". Think about the new blueprint that humans’ in-depth understanding of the brain may bring.
Medium: Interactive installation/video
