Braingirl is a nine-episode animated series about a mutant-cute girl who wears her insides on the outside, literally. Braingirl and her hapless sidekick Bagboy live in a world of externalized emotion, where little is hidden yet nothing is what it appears to be. Braingirl is part experimental film and part pop culture blast; it explores how cartoons manifest our secret fears and desires upon the body – the instantaneous delight of accident and recovery available only in an animated world, where anything is physically possible. Braingirl uses the languages of clip art, interface design, and instruction manuals to turn a bit of the world inside out. The series evolved on the web over a three-year period. Braingirl was created with Macromedia Flash and is distributed on DVD.
