Symbolic Grounding is a kinetic light and sound installation that runs on a network of 100 artificial analogue connections. This network produces an ever-changing set of rhythms and patterns that are not programmed beforehand but that result from the very connectivity of this network. These rhythms and patterns are made audible and visible using different devices such as loud-speakers, motors, an oscilloscope, liquid-light projectors and a xy-recorder. These devices allow the visitors to experience the complexity that already happens in networks with only 100 neurons and provide a glimpse of the complexity of interactions in a network of 86 billion neurons such as the human brain.
