Augmented Consciousness

I augment consciousness using an IBVA brainwave monitor to record the brain’s EEG signal and provide realtime digital feedback of this brainwave data in 4D to the participant. I often create work in a predominantly sonic environment, occasionally output via a 5:1 surround or specialist 3D Audioscape system. This digital biofeedback enhancement known as neurofeedback can enhance users’s experience of an ASC (Altered State of Consciousness). I have 15 years experience in this Art Science realm, here are links to some projects developed since 2006:

  • Psi Chic
    3 years of presentations and brainwave sonifcation with the audience, self funded, developed and toured with the Future of Sound
    Themes: Hypnosis / trance / stages. Listen here on Myspace
  • Analogue Oneironism
    Exploring theta and alpha wave insights, as pinoneered by Brian Gysin and ‘Flicker’
    Themes: Relaxation & Reverie via a Dream Machine

  • Cyber Sleep
    Investigating Lucid Dreaming, following a workshop in Hawai’i with Dr Stephen La Berge (who brought LD into psychological realm) Tibetan dream yoga and sleep patterns using biofeedback and neurofeedback in a retreat.
    Themes: Sleep – REM stage / Lucid Dreaming
  • Other themes under observation : Tai-chi, Dowsing, OBEs (out of body experience),Theta brainwave state, accessing the subconsicous = ‘Theta healing”
