Close your eyes…
Dreamachine is an immersive experience like no other. Join us on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to explore the extraordinary potential of your own mind. This powerful new kind of collective experience will come from within, conjured entirely by light and music. The colourful world of the Dreamachine will unfold behind your closed eyes – created by your own brain and completely unique to you. The most complex technology required is the brain itself.
About
Dreamachine is inspired by an extraordinary 1959 invention by artist Brion Gysin, described as the ‘first artwork to be experienced with your eyes closed’. A seated, multisensory experience, the 21st Century Dreamachine has been created by a team of leading minds in architecture, technology, music, neuroscience, and philosophy, including Turner Prize-winning collective Assemble and Grammy-nominated composer Jon Hopkins.
Like a modern kind of campfire, you’ll share your Dreamachine journey with a group of up to 32 people at a time. An immersive lightscape with 360 degree spatial sound, you’ll be able to experience Dreamachine in one of four spectacular city centre venues across the UK this summer. After your experience, you’ll be invited to reflect on what you saw, what you heard and how you felt – by yourself, or with others.
