Mnemonic Transduction Experiment

SFSU, 1997, San Francisco, California

Built within an abandoned foundry pit this interactive installation used pulsating lights and sound to lubricate the mind thus facilitating a cathartic stream of consciousness experience. Participants were asked to talk with Nemo while reclining within the installation, telling a life story an improvisational narrative, relating their day's events or simply speaking their mind. Elements included 10 cm of water, 2 wooden pallets, a 5 channel resonating speaker assembly, tape loops, theater lights, clear polyethylene tarp, frankincense, and a blue canvas cover. All participant interactions were recorded and fed into the tape loops. Surveys taken following the experiment revealed the effectiveness of mnemonic transduction.

The Nemo Garden

Bio Synthetic Modulation Experiment, Tiburon, California, 97

An interactive installation designed as a homeopathic remedy for the modern industrial world. Installation elements included blue Astroturf, plastic ruble, clear polyethylene tarp, fluorescent lights, and a 'sit-n-spin'. Participants were asked to stand or sit on the 'sit-n-spin' and twist side to side while wearing an experimental helmet designed as a 'biosynthetic conductive element' transducing biological and synthetic counter rotating fields through the opposing twists of the participant's body. Transduction acting as a harmonizing instrument sifting the physical and psychic material producing a purified and harmonized field core.
