THE PSYCHADELIC NETWORK
; is a speculative exhibition and visualization experiment on experiencing psychadelic drugs without consuming them orally
this visualization breaks down the similarities between different receptors. one can read that the connected receptors, when being activated, cause similar physical and emotional response in the human body.
this network of receptor acitvity simulates the connecting similarties the different receptors have.
it visualizes which receptors show similar effects on the human body.
recommended to watch on full screenit visualizes which receptors show similar effects on the human body.
pattern creation by listing the existing agonists / antagonists in a non-verbal visual code
_ the different colours show different receptor
_ the number of edges each outside shape contains represents the number of agonists / antagonists each receptor owns
_ the repetition of single symbols repeats the quantit of agonists / antagonists
_ the number of edges each outside shape contains represents the number of agonists / antagonists each receptor owns
_ the repetition of single symbols repeats the quantit of agonists / antagonists
unfolding map of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist + a list of the most common physical responses the human body shows influenced by the listed serotonergic psychadelics:
analyzing the unfolded groups into their signle substances:
_ background knowledge I gathered during the research process
encode analyzation of group information into symbols:
_ can be read from the inside out in order to follow back the path of the different serotonergic psychadelic groups
e.g. this symbol represents one of the psychadelics from the group of indalomine metabolite
further visualization exploration:
_ seperation of the network into only the receptors with the amount of connections they have
_ playing with colours transformation and how it changes the language impression
