XeluS MinD takes place at a talk show studio and features six anchors inspired by Paul Mclean's Triune Brain. The anchors discuss a range of topics from Communications to Sustainability. On some occasions these topics are explored through the lens of the Present, whilst on others, they are explored historically or futuristically.
The concept behind the XeLuS characters is inspired by McLean's Triune brain from the 1960's. His model is comprised of three brains: the reptilian, proto-mammalian and mammalian brain. Although the scientific merits of this model are now widely disregarded, however, it remains iconic because of its strong explanatory power. At XeLuS, we converted these brains to the concepts of survival, learning and reasoning. Using these concepts, each XeLuS anchor was created to embody a different arc of being human.
The shorts in this issue are adapted from blogs or essays authored by subject matter experts and researchers that XeLuS Studio works with. Assimilating the XeLuS anchors with the blogs, the content is presented here as conversations... Conversations that we could have with ourselves if we are confused or conflicted, but also, conversations that we could observe among others about topics we are interested in.
