The next time you take a leisurely stroll – when the pandemic and MCO situation permits – along Kuala Lumpur’s River of Life waterfront, don’t be surprised to see a giant red and blue hanging tunnel that might remind you of a certain internal organ.

This giant interactive art installation, called The Brain Project, by artists Charmaine Kamal and Hafizah Borhan is made up of steel, steel wires, braided nylon and rubber ropes using the macramé technique (an ancient crafting technique that uses knots).
