This project is a simple composition of an animated character and filmed stock footage in the background. This project is inspired by the optogenetics implications and ongoing researches in the neurobiology field.

Optogenetics is related to the procedure of stimulating certain part of the brain with light signals and is proven to be successfully controlling the behavior of rats suchas feeding response. There is a strong collision between the therapeutic implications for this technique and the ethical questions on the ability to control the human brain with a precise switch.

I think this contrast between the overcoming fear or drug addiction versus the uneasiness in the ethical problems of brain manipulations will be a great topic to interpret artistically.
