The Centrifuge Brain Project
"Nature makes mistakes, gravity is a mistake, we work hard to correct it"
(Slogan of the Institute for Centrifugal Research)

The Centrifuge Brain Project is a documentary film by Till Nowak on the research conducted by this institute since it was founded in 1976. Nowak interviews Dr. Nick Laslowicz, one of the last founders of the institute and currently its chief engineer, who presents and analyses retrospectively applications of this research in the form of “extreme” amusement park rides, devised between 1982 and 2005.
