b-rail/b-rain

For a little journey with the mind, with your head resting on the table of the train, vibrating with the movement of the train. table modelled on the table in the 2nd class NMBS s-train (b-rail turns into b-rain) and NS intercity. For casual staircase meetings. Next to the antwerp central station. Reimagined as an aperitivo table. Public table for chance encounters. The train passes. I catch the train. A table reimagined as a passage for the brain. A stream of consciousness. Stressing the dynamic property of the object of table. Added are the 5 “cupholders” , not a traintable for 1 person, but alluding to dialogue. Sharing a table.

Having your brain fried or frying your brain are recurring idioms of our daily life, but these phrases can have important historical, philosophical and political implications beyond the metaphorical context in which they are usually used.

Ulrike Meinhof, knows as the brain of the German red brigade, actual brain has been removed and dissected by German authorities to determine whether abnormalities might have led to her “radical and antisocial behaviour” and to try to explain her Marxist motives physiologically. The brain is now lost, reported by head of the Tübingen Institute for Brain Research, to Der Spiegel. The brains had been missing for at least 12 years*. reported in 1990, the brains were listed in the files, but not there. Have they been eaten?

Or a little part about einstein/lenin/marx.
