Me, Myself and MRI featured interactive digital portraits of six people from different walks of life. Each person was photographed, filmed and interviewed, and underwent an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) brain scan. The brain scan data was combined with the audio, video and photographic portraits to create a fascinating interpretation of what it is that makes each of these people unique.

This exhibition is the result of an eighteen-month project exploring the notion of individuality using ideas from both science and art. John Oxley worked as part of the Geodesic Arts team. They worked with pupils from Archbishop Holgate’s School, York, looked at MRI technology and contemporary portraiture to find out what they can reveal about us.
