Ashley Mackenzie's thesis work

No Body, No Mind

Despite society’s emphasis on abstract thought, the brain cannot become a mind without a body.

  Filling in the Gaps

As our knowledge of the brain becomes more comprehensive the idea of the soul exists only in the gaps of our understanding

Chemicals

The wide scale proliferation of serotonin-enhancing antidepressants can suppress sexual desire and may inhibit the ability to fall and stay in love. 

Universal Understanding

Our brains may never be able to fully comprehend the complexities of the universe, but knowing our limitations should not hinder exploration or contemplation.

Seeking Substance

Technology has made the process of finding information incredibly simple, inhibiting our capacity to become truly knowledgeable

Cyber-disinhibition

By undermining the nuances of human interaction the internet inadvertently encourages the free reign of negative and often destructive emotional impulses.

Public Brains

Despite our feelings of shared understanding, there’s no real way of knowing if any individual’s experience is the same as another’s.
