Space-Out:Nosebleed
Visualisation of Space-Out

Introduction

  • Prototype of Nosebleed
  • Space-Out in my opinion
  • Main Point: How Nosebleed shows Space-Out

Space-Out Experience

Brain Waves

  • Brief introduction of 4 types of brain waves
  • Alpha wave
  • Lucid Dream (My personal opinion of Space-out)
  • Examples of people's experiences/facts

Dreamachines

  • Introduction of Flicker (1.Prototype; 2.Theories; 2.Examples of people's different reactions on same works)

In 1960s, the artist Brion Gysin invented Flicker which is also known as Dreamachine, a stroboscopic flicker device that produces visual stimuli. The dreamachine was made from a cylinder with holes in different shapes and sizes in the sides, with a light bulb in the centre of the cylinder. Putting on the record turntable, rotating at 78 or 45 revolutions per minute, allows the light to come out from the holes at a constant frequency of between 8 and 113 pulses per second. This range corresponds to alpha waves, electrical oscillations normally present in the human brain while relaxing.
