She conceptualized and launched the project l o g - i n / l o c k e d o u t – A Forum of Art and Neuroscience (www.locked-in.com). The forum explores the relationship between art and technology – the image on the retina, in memory, in language and on material carriers. l o g - i n / l o c k e d o u t is under the patronage of UNESCO.
