To understand the effects of colors on brain chemistry, it is important to focus on the role of chemicals in the brain. For instance, during the perception or processing of colors, the release of chemicals such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine in the brain may increase. These chemicals play a significant role in regulating emotional responses and forming emotions associated with colors. Moreover, changes in brain chemistry can affect the way colors are perceived and their emotional reflections. For instance, elevated levels of dopamine may lead to the perception of bright colors as more attractive and pleasurable. Similarly, inadequate serotonin levels can lead to changes in responses associated with colors and exacerbate their effects on depression or anxiety. In summary, the relationship between brain chemistry and colors is complex and not yet fully understood. However, research indicates that colors can induce various chemical reactions in the brain, affecting emotional states and behaviors. The exhibition titled "Problems Solved in the Mind" is a result of efforts by a group of artists from different age groups and styles to express themselves through colors and unique forms. The heroes of this endeavor have sometimes utilized classic art materials such as oil paint or acrylic paint. At other times, they have turned to waste materials or artificial intelligence programs like ChatGPT, used in composing this text. Thus, the responsibility of solving aesthetic problems has been occasionally undertaken by artists, while at other times, collaboration with 1s and 0s has resulted in artworks that embody the products of "hybrid thinking."

the transition of image and sound to technology-supported virtual images, which started in the
1960s, and who can establish and demonstrate the delicate balance of the virtual and the actual.
Shaw's works for expanded cinema, interactive spaces, and haptic media; It aims to completely
change the traditional relationship between the object and the audience by reflecting the
audience's role of witnessing reality to technological and hybrid spaces. To uncertain the
boundaries of the space, the artist creates an embodiment in worlds where the viewer can
construct meaning by enabling both physical and intellectual interaction with the environment.
This study is based on a Neo-Bergsonist idea of embodied aesthetics, demonstrating Shaw's
pioneering role in new media art, in an expanded present moment, the concept of affect and its
potential carrier, embodiment. This idea of aesthetic thought is an expression of a return to the
French philosopher Henri Bergson, who is known for his theories of duration and memory, a
return to affect. The idea of return is handled based on sensation, focusing on a Bergsonian
aesthetic analysis through Shaw's new media works. How Bergson's contemporary
representations of digital time can be revealed through the body, within the Neo-Bergsonist
aesthetic experience, can be traced through Shaw's layered and self-conductive Place-Hampi
work.
Geride bıraktığı 25 yıllık süreçte, birbirinden değerli sanatçıları ağırlayan Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, Sanat ve Tasarım Fakültesi, 2022-2023 Güz yarıyılında da etkinliklerine hız kesmeden devam ediyor. Fakültenin bulunduğu Tarihi Taş Kışla binasında konumlanan UFUK GÜNCELERİ'nin sanatçısı, kurumun öğretim üyelerinden Burak Boyraz.
Sergide Boyraz'ın son iki yılda üretmiş olduğu tuval üzeri akrilik çalışmalara ve heykellere yer verildi. Bu yapıtlar sanal ortamdaki deneysel üretimler ile desteklendi. İlgili üretimler sergi ekibinin titiz çalışması eşliğinde bir katalog eşliğinde takdim edildi. Böylelikle hem Boyraz'ın kendini yenileme süreci kayıt altına alındı, hem de yapıtlarına yönelik arşiv niteliğinde bir miras bırakıldı.
