Sean Blem at NiROX PROJECTS at Arts on MainResident at the NIROX Foundation, Cradle of Humankind, Sean Blem has engaged in continued research and documentation of early areas of human habitation in Southern Africa. His interpretation of 'cartographic' connections explores the link between specific archaeological sites in the Cradle of Humankind, to more recent Iron Age and contemporary sites of human habitation.
In addition, he has extended his cartographic exploration into another similarly unknown area of our universe, the human brain: In particular the prefrontal and frontal cortices. This area of the brain is what differentiates us from other primates, and has enabled the development of protective shelter, leading to architecture, speech, language and the development of artistic interpretation, music and culture. As the parameters of thought expanded, our frontal cortices took us to the moon and beyond. Often to great interdisciplinary benefit, science and the arts have been linked, as demonstrated by the works of Leonardo Da Vinci and Goethe.
As research materials are investigated using archaeological, neurological and earth observation techniques, Sean Blem believes unexpected and unknown paths of further exploration will become evident, cohesively enhancing our understanding and knowledge in the future.
