Art exhibit - juror state
Same context as my previous question, a juror's statement for an art exhibit. Thank you for your help. Context:
It was as much a pleasure as it was an honor to juror the III Biennial 2013, and to see the accomplished works by so many artists living alongside a grand North American border. As a curator who regularly deals with issues of bicultural identity, transnational effects, and consistently complicated histories, it was exciting to review artwork created within this region—where two worlds twist and shift and form a unique state (of mind). Working from the distant city of Chicago, it is especially clear that we relentlessly construct and participate in an American culture that has no borders.

donde dos mundos diferentes se entrelazan y forman una nueva conciencia
If you want to preserve the word play with "state," then...un nuevo estado (de conciencia).

Note from asker:
| Gracias por contestar George. En mi borrador había puesto "en donde dos mundos convergen". No me gusta tanto doble verbo por todas partes, al igual que en mi otra pregunta. Qué constumbres! En cuando el resto, tenía "estado de ánimo", te gusta más "de conciencia"? |
| Perdón, me acabo de dar cuenta de mi error. Por supuesto que es "conciencia"!!! |

twist and shift and form a unique state (of mind)
Having state of mind separated by a parenthesis changes the way it should be translated. Perhaps the author was trying to stress both meanings, "form a unique state" and "forms a unique state of mind". I welcome all answers and comments.
