Neural Alley, is an interactive analog installation that interjects in the flows and paths of the daily urban commuter. On either side of the alleyway hangs a canvas of pixel blocks. Each make up a larger image that spans the depth of the alley. These images start off by depicting arteries of the Tennessee river and evolve over time through interactions with the passers by.

Temporal Art
Tension between the two sides of the alleyway (the two images) is temporal and fluctuates depending on the number of people passing through the space. People will act as the only conduit between the two.
The images are filtered over time. This image filter is not based on an algorithm like a digital image filter, but rather by an aggregation of chance events that may take place when a passer by wonders through this spatial conduit. The result is a spatial fuzzy logic.
