About

DREAMACHINE

Collective Act and UNBOXED: Creativity in the UK presents Dreamachine

Dreamachine is an immersive experience like no other.  It has been created by a team of leading minds in architecture, technology, music, neuroscience, and philosophy, including Turner Prize-winning collective Assemble and Grammy-nominated composer Jon Hopkins.  It is inspired by an extraordinary 1959 invention by artist Brion Gysin, described as the 'first artwork to be experienced with your eyes closed'.

Sit back, close your eyes and join in on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to explore the extraordinary potential of your own mind.

This powerful new kind of collective experience will come from within, conjured entirely by light and music. The colourful world of the Dreamachine will unfold behind your closed eyes - created by your own brain and completely unique to you. The most complex technology required is the brain itself.

What will you see? How will you feel? Only you will know because every experience of the Dreamachine will be completely personal. You might see patterns and shapes, cities and landscapes, or abstract waves of shifting colours. It might feel like a rollercoaster ride, a journey through time and space, or you might even drift into sleep. An opportunity to disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with both yourself, and others, this unique experience will shed light on how differently we see and make sense of the world around us.

Before booking, you are required to complete the pre-event form.
