The Deleted Scenes in XXX's Brain is an immersive interactive visual space. By transforming the intangible realm of thought into a traversable digital space, I challenge viewers to blur the lines between their reality and the abstract representation of another's landscape of consciousness. Dominated by warm oranges and reds, this digital environment evokes not only the pulsating energy of synaptic connections and the heat of cognitive processes but also symbolizes the physicality of flesh and blood. (If one breaches the space's walls and retreats to a certain distance, they discover that this entire environment is actually nestled within a brain-shaped entity.) Subtle variations in hue and scattered geometric forms suggest fragments of memories or censored thoughts, inviting participants to navigate through what appears to be the hidden recesses of a mind, and in the process, trigger and listen to encrypted audio information within the space.
