Brain Trippers
Webcomic, 100 pages
In « Brain Trippers » a small entourage of curious aliens are about to set foot on earth. Their objective? Find out what goes on with the peculiar, often eccentric dwellers of this blue-coloured planet. On their journey, they use highly advanced technology brought with them from their home light years away, and with it they will scale down to the intimate and delicate wiring of the human brain. Will they ultimately discover what makes these creatures function?
Based on Professor Michael Tanter's Fusimagine project, which is taking brain imaging to the next level, Brain Tripper is a collaboration between scientist and artist to bring advanced research to a brand new audience. Published during 10 months at the ERCOMICS website, is now complete and can be read at the ErcComkics.com website.
