Conception:

This installation consider the idea of society as system lake  an organism. Since the advent of the Internet and new technologies are born the utopian idea of "global brain" caused by the emergence of smart grid, which is the set of all people, computers, knowledge base and communication links that bind together. Like the human brain, this network is immensely complex, self-organizing, process information, make decisions, learn, open ideas that play a role in the nervous system. This Structure is not dependent on a specific person, organization or computer. Electronic media made the process of evolution and spread of ideas very quickly. All this makes the "global brain" an interesting analogy,  in a phenomenon that can be concretely experienced now. This raises many questions and concerns such as how much personal identity is threatened by extinction dilution or in whole and generally objectionable Could this be a new way of control?
