Description: The Bicameral Emulation Exercise is a cognitive exercise related to the Improvising Consciousness Project. It premiered as part of Enact:Art in the Mind. In a short video, Professor Jennifer Årnstay explains the radically different Bicameral Mind configuration that was dominant from ~12,000 BCE to ~3,000 BCE. The Bicameral Emulation Exercise is designed to give you a taste of this mind configuration.
The Enact:Art in the Mind project was a jury selection in the Japan Media Arts Festival ; it is profiled in the most recent Oberlin College Alumni magazine, and there’s a review in Afterimage by Cleveland artist and writer Douglas Max Utter. http://vsw.org/afterimage/
