OFF Galería Elba Benítez, the complementary space of the historic Madrid gallery, hosts The History of the Eye, a project that merges science and art by Mariano Sigman (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1972) and Mariano Sardón (Bahía Blanca, Argentina, 1968). The exhibition is structured around extensive research into the perceptual processes that shape visual reality. Both artists, with solid scientific backgrounds in physics and neuroscience, have explored the mechanisms through which the brain transforms light stimuli into images and the influence of memory on visual experience.
