"Self Reflected" is a work of art on permanent exhibition at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. It was created by Dr. Greg Dunn (artist and neuroscientist) and Dr. Brian Edwards (artist and applied physicist) with a grant from the National Science Foundation.
My photograph (above) of Self Reflected won the National Science Foundation's 2017 Vizzies award for Best Illustration.
Greg and Brian spent 2 years designing, engineering, building, and installing "Self Reflected" and several more years inventing reflective microetching, a revolutionary technique which animates their artwork and brings the brain to life. It was my distinct pleasure to document the entire process and produce a variety of videos some of which can be seen below and others which are coming soon.
