About the event
This intimate and cutting-edge exhibition will be hosted by the incredible Moos space, near Treptower Park, following the Regens Unite Conference as part of a conscious weekend program. With a complementary approach, the Museum of Consciousness will include five sound experiments spanning five hours, performed by local audio wizards and delivered via a Funktion One soundsystem. The aim: to alter the audience’s state of consciousness through the power of sound alone.
*** This event will sell out and there will be no tickets on the door (online tickets only) ***The Museum of Consciousness originates from Balliol College, Oxford University, a hub of world class innovation.
The Museum challenges artists to produce a reliable and measurable Altered State of Consciousness in a live audience, using only sound. Around 100 artists are members of the Museum of Consciousness community, including Orbital, Jon Hopkins, Lisa Lashes, Alexandre Tannous and Tom Middleton.
Expanding on this high-quality precedent, visitors can expect to be transported to a world of sound and imagination.
The Museum of Consciousness is not only a place to experience art, but also to engage in a creative process. The museum follows a circular structure which is designed to act as an engine for creative regeneration between the artist and the audience, thereby empowering both in equal measure:
1. Transmission - The artists TRANSMIT their sound to the audience.
2. Integration - The artists then help INTEGRATE their transmission with a mini lecture which explains the piece in depth, and their passion for sound as a whole.
3. Feedback - Where the audience directly COMMUNICATES their thoughts and feelings back to the artistbto help them learn and potentially iterate on their piece.
