Humans, by nature, are thrill seekers. Why else would we leap from a 1,149-foot-tall tower or wait in line to ride the world’s steepest roller coaster? The Centrifuge Brain Project is a mockumentary by German filmmaker Til Nowak that challenges the notion that brain activity decreases while riding high-speed, vomit-inducing amusement park rides.
In The Centrifuge Brain Project, Les Barany plays fictitious engineer Dr. Nick Laslowicz and walks us through his “Institute for Centrifugal Research.” Through his deadpan performance, Laslowicz’s tries to convince us that “gravity is a mistake” and that brain activity actually increases when a person experiences his terrifyingly impossible park rides. Obviously, as a joke, all logic is thrown out of the window.
