The Tortoise

Flicker --> is a long-standing term of art in experimental psychology, referring to visual effects induced by flickering lights (Geiger 2003, 12–15)

William Grey Walter became interested in flicker and incorporated it into his EEG research in 1945, when he came across a new piece of technology that had become available during the war, an electronic stroboscope.

biofeedback/EEG machine, nicknamed the Augmentor from The Lathe of Heaven

William Burroughs--> “consciousness expanding experience has been produced by flicker.”

Allen Ginsberg --> It was like watching my own inner organism. There was no distinction between inner and outer. Suddenly I got this uncanny sense that I was really no different than all of this mechanical machinery all around me. (Geiger 2003, 47)

Brion Gysin & Ian Sommerville --> Dream Machine (or Dreamachine); Gysin --> a drug-free point of access to transcendental states, and had plans to develop it as a com- mercial proposition, something to replace the television in people’s living rooms, but all his efforts in that direction failed

TV

“the systems dynamics of the interaction between government and people in the light of newly available technology such as TV and discoveries in the realm of psycho-cybernetics” (Beer 1981, 278)

a technology of the nonmodern self--> The technology did something—flickered—and the brain did something in response—exhibited epileptic symptoms. (Cybernetic Brain, 77) (nonvoluntary, nonmodern fashion)

Robot Arm --> "capture something in the real world, consume it into a digital environment, and push it back out in the physical world, it is interruptive circle"

1956 Joseph Engelberger & George Devol -->Unimation (1959)

1973 Kuka --> Famulus (1898)

2006 ETH Zurich --> combined the robot arm produced by Kuka with digital information --> ProgrammedWall

2011 SCI-Arc stablished Robot House --> Staubli(Unimation)

2013 Bot&Dolly --> Box

-What is Lucid Dreaming? Lucid Dreaming is when you are sleeping and dreaming and that you are aware that your are asleep and that you are dreaming, yet you don't wake up. This can be great, giving you full control of your dreams, jumping off of buildings, going into space, whatever your mind can create.

-The Lucid Dream Machine is a pair of glasses that you wear while you are sleeping. About 4 hours into your sleep the AVR microcontroller pulse LEDs that shine through your eyelids. This half wakes you up. The flashing lights helps you become aware (in your sleep) that your are sleeping and dreaming, in doing so you become more likely to be able to control your dreams.
-Drugs affecting dreaming
-Correlations between the usage of drugs and dreaming have been documented, particularly the use of drugs, such as sedatives, and the suppression of dreaming because of drugging effects on the cycles and stages of sleep while not allowing the user to reach REM. Drugs used for their stimulating properties (cocaine, methamphetamine, and ecstasy) have shown to also decrease the restorative properties of REM sleep and its duration.

-Machine are loaded with dreams
