Sit back. Close your eyes. Get comfortable.
Join us on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to explore the incredible potential of your own mind. Conjured entirely by light and music, a colourful world will unfold behind your closed eyes, created by the power of your own brain and completely unique to you. The most complex technology required is the brain itself.

This extraordinary seated, multisensory experience with 360 degree spatial sound will offer you an entirely new way to disconnect from everyday life, and reconnect with both yourself and others.

Created by Collective Act, in collaboration with a team of leading technologists, artists, scientists and philosophers, Dreamachine features a spatial design by Assemble, and a new score in 360 spatial sound composed for the experience by Grammy-nominated composer Jon Hopkins.

Your bio and contact: The rich inner journeys created by the High Sensory Dreamachine experience are linked to something known as ‘entrainment’ – gentle changes to brain activity created by synchronisation to flickering light, which affects activity in the visual areas of the brain. The frequency of the light provides a ‘beat’ for the rhythms of the brain, similar to the ‘alpha’ rhythm – a brain state normally associated with relaxation. This discovery was first made by the pioneering British neuroscientist Dr Grey Walter in the 1950s. The question of exactly why flickering light gives rise to such vivid experiences is still unanswered. Our scientific team at the Centre for Consciousness Science, University of Sussex, have been investigating this mystery for over a decade and exploring what it might reveal about the nature of consciousness.
