Supported by the Harvard Mind Brain Behavior Initiative, a unique exhibition titled BIOPHILIA will take place on September 30th, 2024 from 5PM at the GSD Kirkland Gallery, featuring works from postdoctoral fellow Dániel Barabási and photo artist Balázs Csizik. The exhibition is organized around the concept of life and its different dimensions. The two artists combine the tools of science and fine art to present the central theme through a variety of media, from cellular organisation to networks of urban spaces and communities.

DÁNIEL BARABÁSI Dániel Barabási is a postdoctoral fellow at the Broad Institute, whose work blends neuroscience, network science, and machine learning. He received his B.S. in Physics from the University of Notre Dame in 2017, where he worked on network models of brain connectivity, and was awarded a PhD in Biophysics from Harvard in 2023. Dániel's research illuminates the intricate relationship between brain connectivity and gene expression. His developmental results imply that the brain is not a complex entity molded solely by experience, but is a fundamentally simple self-assembling system, governed by genetic processes during embryonic development.
BALÁZS CSIZIK Balázs Csizik obtained his master’s degree in Visual Communication (Budapest University of Technology and Economics) where he’s a lecturer now, in the fields of visual communication and communication technology. He combines the visual language of photography with other fine art forms, using different skillsets. His artistic vision is inspired by modern experimental architecture and art forms like suprematism and constructivism.
