I work both as a biomedical scientist and as a visual artist. And the description "in silico" is used in systems biology to denote experimental modelling of data inside a computer as opposed to "in vitro" or "in vivo". With this ongoing series, I have extended its use to digital modelling of these works. As a series, they are designed to be viewed both on screen – most visual art is now viewed with the thumbs – and as a fabricated series of large glass panels or windows – to suggest that we look through, and not at, experience. Thematically, they concern how we remember, recreate and remodel our own stories, past and future. Although the present may exist in spacetime models, it does not – to my way of thinking as a neurophysiologist – exist biologically since its cognitive perception is always post hoc. More generally, I am interested in memory disturbance, as with some dementias, and in fabulation, as with all of us. Thus far, there are 17 images. Number 1 re-views Ghirlandaio’s remarkable rhinophyma painting in combination with a contemporary Pokémon figure and the opening words of Ovid’s Metamorphoses – telling us of bodies changed into new forms. Number 9 references the well-known, creative myth of Pygmalion and Galatea. And Number 15, the emergent, non-fungible token market apropos spiritual enlightenment as represented by Buddha Shakyamuni: in this image, past and present are regarded as fungible tokens of human experience.

Biography
Wilf Tilley (Prof. Michael W. Miller) was born in the North of England and began his career as an actor, age 16, with the National Youth Theatre at The Old Vic in a production of Antony and Cleopatra in which Helen Mirren played Cleopatra and he carried a spear. “Wilf Tilley” (a combination of parental names) was part-adopted for a first solo exhibition at the AIR Gallery, London, when he was 27. Following an MA degree at the Royal College of Art, London, an interest in the neuro-anatomical drawings of Leonardo da Vinci led, via the Open University, to research on neuronal modelling in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics in the University of Oxford. He was a Fellow of St. Catherine's College, Oxford, and after a two-year Fellowship in the International Center for Medical Research, Kobe, was a founder member, then senior adviser at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute, where he designed a brain science exploratorium (BrainBox). Wilf has held eight solo exhibitions, participated in group exhibitions internationally, and held a first retrospective in Japan (The Neuro-mytheologian And Other Works), in 2003. A novel (The Ladyboy Murders) was shortlisted for the Impress Prize for New Writers in 2015. In November/December 2017, he held a second retrospective at the Frederick Harris Gallery, Tokyo. And a recent portrait (Manami-san) is part of the New Light Art Prize Exhibition in the UK, touring five galleries nationally (2023-2024).
