Cryosleep

 

 

Utilizing various sounds made by running computers, an atmosphere is created. The noise of computers thinking generates a dark, cold drone, that is conducive to sleep.

 

Out in space, with nothing to cast a shadow, there is no day or night. Aided by computers, you can sleep for eternity.

Mind Control

• Neon Yantra •

Watercolour, pencil, and felt-tip pen on watercolour paper.

The yantra is an instrument for meditation, a diagram to focus the mind.

The fractured surface, with its geometric lattice of self-similar elements induces a quality of movement. This movement, towards and away from the centre, has an effect similar to hypnosis, merging the view in front with some inner landscape of the mind.

Beneath the surface there is geometry, vitrified skin and light.

Threshold I

Synthetic polymer paint, and fluorescent gaffer tape on boxboard.

◊

This rhombus is a prototype, the starting point (threshold) of an object of reflection.

The luminescent (lumin [light] essence) tape, radiates colour from behind the painted surface. A photon is absorbed as an equivalent photon is immediately emitted.

The geometric form resembles a hallucination experienced in the transitional state between waking, and sleeping (Hypnagogia). Lucid dreaming, the subjective experience on the edge of sleep, occurs at this threshold of consciousness.

Mind Blank

Ballpoint pen on copy paper.

These drawings emerge during the monotony of work. Where the mind is quiet with boredom, oscillating in the open space of alpha waves.

Crystal Virus ◊

Xerographic print on cardboard.


It is thought that the virus emerged at the same time as the first single cells.

The living cell operates as vector to this obverse structure. Neither alive or dead, the virus is a self-modifying code, able to genetically alter the infected cells. Once inside, the virus reproduces by creating multiple copies of itself, through a process of self-assembly.


The infection causes unique patterns.
