"A major scientific breakthrough, which allows us to give visual form to our thoughts. Already today, we can program simple mathematical objects and project them immediately in holographic form in space. The next step will be to create cybernetically prepared spectacles through which we can program the ideas we are thinking in our brain. Initially, this will allow programming on the basis of simple geometric images. However, we will soon be able to project through these spectacles on a screen whatever we can imagine. We will see what we are thinking. Bravo!"
Dali reveals a visual equivalent of the intangible human mind by showing the inside of a Man’s Brain.
This work is part of the "Imagination and Objects of the Future" portfolio, which is full of Dalí's fantastical creations of futuristic luxuries and extravagances. The suite of 10 dry point etchings combined with lithography and collage were inspired by his extensive research on a variety of scientific topics, including physics, biology, and arithmetic. These encompass the concept of Dali imagining himself as the 20th century Leonardo da Vinci, giving to the world what he imagined the future would hold.
