Mind represents the depths and breadth of human capacity, an infinitely expandable process the content of which is limited only by individual imagination and creativity. It also entails the interface with the unknown whether it is called the Higher Self, God, or Infinity.
In contemporary life, mind is both a real and virtual concept. Categorizations of Mind, such as consciousness, the subconscious, the unconscious, the preconscious, and the Superconscious. have been analyzed and described. Scientists study cognitive structures such as schema and investigate complex mental processes. In popular culture, filmmakers and others have explored the richness of virtual and imaginary worlds. The tremendous popularity of movies such as AI, Avatar and District 9 attest to the fascination of the public with these imaginary worlds. The Mind exhibit invites artists to share their awarenesses, intuitions and imaginings of these real and virtual worlds.
