The Brick Presents

Dream Machine

by Chris Ignacio

A Dream Machine is meant to be “viewed” with eyes closed. Pulsating light from a spinning cylinder stimulates the optic nerve which alters the brain’s electrical oscillations

—resulting in complex animated patterns behind the closed eyelids.

In this latest iteration of I Once Found Myself in an Isolation Chamber, we are immersed in a dreamy shadow world of sounds and shifting landscapes, as we witness a nameless character emerge from his paid-for time in isolation.
