Phantom is a multi-media installation by Canadian-based artist Alan Dunning and Paul Woodrow as part of The Einstein's Brain Project, an ongoing collaboration between artists and scientists who use various methods to examine human consciousness and constructions of the body. Created specifically for the 808 Gallery, Phantom will encompass a room-sized video projection and sound components that appropriate strategies found in paranormal psychology and in pattern recognition to explore ideas about how we construct our world.
