jet lag:
“a condition that is characterized by various psychological and physiological
effects (as fatigue and irritability), occurs following long flight through several
time zones, and probably results from disruption of circadian rhythms in the
human body.” [Merriam Webster Dictionary Online]

Jet Lag is a MEI.collectiv exhibition by Jessica Resmond (France, US) and
Jorge Bachmann (Colombia, Switzerland) with the participation of
neuropsychologist Sabine Gysens (Belgium) and artist Anne Chao (Taiwan). Jet
Lag is a multi-media project that uses metaphors from both the air travel
experience and neurosciences to investigate social and biological networks.
This new installation includes sculptures, digital photography, sound and video
by the MEI.collectiv, as well as pictures, videos and sounds emailed by friends
and acquaintances from around the world.

Jet Lag addresses the simultaneous freedom and confinement experienced
when traveling across time zones. It draws our attention to the strange and
suspended “familiarity” of transient spaces and unfamiliar skies, to the forced
intimacy of airport security scans and the anonymity of international flights.
