Talking

On Fri 12 November at about 10.10pm we were interviewed about The Cage installed at New Art Gallery Walsall by Loyd Williams for BBC Radio WM (95.6FM and later on iPlayer)

During which we discussed The Other Place and a variety of methods for getting there.

On Sat 13 November at about 3.45pm we presented ‘Schizo-Productive Performance Fiction’ at ‘A Make Believe World’ a One-day symposium at Chelsea Theatre, London

During which we discussed how we developed the paranoid-critical method into schizo-productive dérive during The Family (2009), which was a collectively produced ‘performance fiction’, and definitely NOT a cult. Using examples from one day during The Event 2009, we demonstrated the practice of using glitch, coincidence and fabulation to produce neo-primal myths.

Dreamachine Meditation

Sensory Overload Remote Viewing

Using elements from previous experiments in The Cage we experimented with how sensory overload affects psychic ability. Subjects were exposed to sense data in all channels and then instructed to focus their minds on another subject in a secret location before drawing their impressions of that location.

An important element of this was the Dreamachine made to Brion Gysin’s design, intended to create a trance like state of visions and waking dreams, a helpful way of reaching The Other Place.
