Ganzfeld



This was a cool narrative short I found about the Ganzfeld Field. I really enjoyed it. The representation of Ganzfeld projections is beautiful. My personal experience was not as vivid, but I definitle saw a lot my brain was going crazy with the projections. I saw almost too much, but I did get some pretty strong recurring images such as birds, flowers, and triangles. Some of my visualizations were full on scenes in which I travelled through space. For instance I went into a triangular crack and found a flower and another time I flew into a mouth and headed straight for the little punching bag thing. It was a trip.

After reading Scott Daly's article "The Ganzfeld as a Canvas for Neurophysically Based Artworks" I am super inspired to try something up this ally, imagine your using ping pong balls and your imagination to create an art piece with the aid of a performer, sounds a bit shamanic. Anyways I plan wearing ping pong balls on my eyes and just hanging out under a tree, pronto!
