GREAT MINDS
ALEKSANDRA STRATIMIROVIC
The human brain is an information machine where fantastic creative ideas are born, according to Aleksandra Stratimirovic. But when great minds come together, something even more extraordinary happens. A beautiful, invisible force emerges that propels us forward together.
This artwork is best experienced with its soundscape:

The cross-sections of two brilliant brains, each four meters high, use light to depict a shared brainstorm where new ideas emerge. Energy flows, and insights strengthen one another. The programmed light symbolizes the creative spark within your own brain, as well as the inspiring exchange between the two minds and their surroundings.
Stratimirovic originally created this artwork for the light art festival Nobel Week Lights in Stockholm.
“Great Minds is a temporary, dynamic monument that praises the birth of ideas and relates to all creative people.”
