Polyheadra is the new interactive art installation created by Karina Smigla – Bobinski, realized for the Pop Air exhibition in Milan. The title is a wordplay combining the word POLYHEDRA, a three-dimensional shape in geometry and the word HEAD, the aim is to deliver the idea that there are many (poli) heads interacting with the artwork. All the thoughts and ideas that come from the several minds of the participants constantly reshape the composition of this collaborative or, in other words, open-source artwork. The idea is linked to the new discoveries in the field of neuroscience, on the self-configuration of the brain. In this installation, visitors actually can configure the artwork by themselves. By putting together pipes of different dimensions and length in many ways, visitors can create structures in cooperation.
