Electronic workshops in computing July 1, 2021 Carl Smith, Kenneth Shinozuka, Alex Zhao et al. 3 citations
The Museum of Consciousness presents a collection of short audio samples designed by artists and consciousness explorers to cultivate expansive states of consciousness. The samples include mindfulness meditations, placebo highs, sound journeys, and novel introspection methods. Visitors rate each sample using Raph Milliere's 6D model of self-consciousness, which was inspired by psychedelics and meditation, and play a game guessing the curators' pre-assigned ratings. Feedback from visitors is incorporated into a regenerative system that shapes future exhibits.
