The Tuning Fork of the Mind is a multi-layered installation that deals with a pseudo-scientific theory of brainwave activity that occurs when an unwary viewer encounters art. I developed this theory to chart the collisions between the Viewer and Art, and to prove how the mental gymnastics and cognitive leaps required to comprehend the Art Object generate vibrations at frequencies calculated to specifically, and with singular malicious focus, derange the brain.
