Dopamine Crush

Luc Mattenberger is interested in the mechanisms which determine our ways of life, our ways of thinking.  He examines current practices, such as mindfulness, which may lead to well-being and enhancement of human performance or to torture, depending on how they are used.  He questions all systems – political, social, psychological – which constrain and limit.   The exhibition at the Ferme de la Chapelle, designed to be visited as a whole along what may be called a dopamine pathway (a hormone secreted by our brain and acting like a reward), raises questions about the motives and ways of using conditioning methods.
