Paula Crown -- Inside My Head- a contemporary self-portrait 1920x1080from Paula Crown.Despite the ongoing right brained v left brained debates and endless "where does creativity come from" dialogues, we still somehow know relatively little about the genesis of artistic inspiration in the human mind. While we can't with scientific certainty understand how our synapses fuse to form art, we can, however, now watch these sparks come together to actually make art. For Paula Crown's MRI-inspired exhibit Inside My Head: A Contemporary Self-Portrait, currently on view at Dallas Contemporary, Crown used two large convex screens to display the inner workings of the artist's own brain--captured via real MRI scans.
