The installation Digital Brain Research Center (DBRC) puts different parts of data storage technology into the metaphorical setting of a brain research laboratory. Inspired by modern neuroscientific approaches and typical steps within post-mortem examinations of the human brain, these physical components of the so-called “digital brain” are investigated both visually and symbolically, revealing their correlations with as well as their distinctions from the human memory system while addressing the contemporary role of technological data storing options for the act of externally preserving and recalling memories.
