“Even though your brain works differently, it still lights up and is beautiful to watch, a wonderful machine you have. It just means you have to navigate and pivot a little differently,” says Sudhoff, who collaborated with doctors to collect data for the multisensory installation. She colorfully depicts the intersection of art and science in The Reading Brain, which generates a real-time, changing visualization of brain activity produced by dyslexic children reading.
The Reading Brain was acquired by The Health Museum though its Healing Arts Initiative, and is now a permanent fixture. For her part, Sudhoff is a multidisciplinary artist whose work frequently questions societal norms.
