BRAIN is an American art studio known for it's viral collaborations with Weezer, Fall Out Boy, and Green Day, as well as its AI project Goody-2.

History

[edit]

In 2022, BRAIN created Human Record Player in collaboration with Weezer, where the user had to spin in a circle to hear the artist’s newest track, Records.[1]

In 2023, BRAIN created CRYNYL, an official release of Fall Out Boy’s album So Much (for) Stardust filled with the band’s tears.[2]

In 2024, BRAIN created Dookie Demastered, a release of Green Day's album Dookie, an official collaboration with the band where each song on the album was ported onto an "obscure, obsolete and otherwise inconvenient" format, such as a wax cylinder and a Teddy Ruxpin, and sold via a drawing.[3]

In 2024, BRAIN's AI chatbot Goody-2 received acclaim for its commentary on the role of censorship in artificial intelligence.[4][5][6]
