Inspired by Electromagnetic Brainology by CHAT’s Winter Programme 2021 artist Lu Yang, the CHAT Originals x Lu Yang: Electromagnetic Brainology Card Holder displays a design that integrates the four elements, earth, water, fire and air. The design also features an embroidery of a gold crown, paying tribute to Lu’s collaboration with Japanese embroidery master Takahashi Naotaka. Interweaving elements of machine embroidery and the edginess of contemporary art, this cardholder is a prized collector’s item that is also perfect for daily use.

The CHAT Originals x Lu Yang: Electromagnetic Brainology Card Holder includes one of the four limited edition shiny cards:

The Fire Deity
Our body temperature and stamina are grouped under the fire element in the 4 essential elements. The anubhava of the fire deity controls the neurons of the thermal receptor to relieve or eliminate the pain brought by the fire element.

The Water Deity
The anubhava of the water deity controls the autonomic nervous system, and the connection between the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, and the autonomic nervous system to relieve and eliminate the pain caused by the water element, such as excretion, blood and pus.

The Air Deity
The air deity drives the limbic system across the chiliocosm to relieve the pain of the air element. The anubhava of the air deity controls the respiratory centre of human beings to relieve or eliminate the pain introduced by the air element.

The Earth Deity
The anubhava of the earth deity controls neurons in the thalamus which receive pain signals, acting at the sensory area of the cerebral cortex, to relieve the pain brought by the earth element.

CHAT Originals are thoughtfully designed products which are often produced in-house or in collaboration with prominent international artists and local collaborators. The collection aims to present our visitors with meaningful souvenirs to continue the CHAT experience.
