The New Dream Machine Project
The New Dream Machine Project
Shezad Dawood (UK)
The inspiration behind the project begins with the painter Brion Gysin's (1916-1986) prototype Dream Machine created in the early 60s upon his return from Morocco. Developed and fabricated in Fes and the UK, as an homage to Gysin, the kinetic light sculpture is designed to emit kaleidoscopic light pulses similar in effect to alpha waves produced by the brain to induce states of unconsciousness.
