    Expanding his exploration of the creative process, DaHexd is linking his work to EEG data. In a documentary released in early 2024, he explains his groundbreaking approach of scanning his brain while creating art to generate projection-mapped rooms reflecting his brain activity. Utilizing pareidolia, he draws inspiration from these projections to create new artworks. This innovative method explores how brain data can revolutionize the way we create and experience art, offering a pioneering intersection between neuroscience and artistic expression.
