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

History

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] [2] [3]

In 2023, BRAIN created CRYNYL, an official release of Fall Out Boy’s album So Much (for) Stardust filled with the band’s tears. [4] [5] [6]

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. [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

In 2024, BRAIN's AI chatbot Goody-2 received acclaim for its commentary on the role of censorship in artificial intelligence by refusing every request, responding with an explanation of how doing so might cause harm or breach ethical boundaries. [12] [13] [14]
