Mapping Pathways of Discovery: A conversation with neuroscientist, artist, and writer Joshua Sariñana
A thought-provoking conversation with neuroscientist, artist, and writer Joshua Sariñana unwrapping the journey of creative thought and scientific exploration that led to his project Mental Mapping: The Art of Exploring Connections. Though equipped with a robust understanding about how the mind works through his training in neuroscience, Joshua understands that science alone cannot fully explain the complex relationship we have with our external environment. Therefore, for this and other projects he allows his science background to work alongside use of photography, artificial intelligence, writing, and conversations to understand the connections between people with their environment, past and present, art and science, internal and external worlds, the seen and unseen.
