Oscillating Light Machine



Using instructions based on Brion Gysin's original plans I built a dreamachine of my own. This simple oscillating light machine creates flickers of light of a specific frequency which when you position your closed eyes in front of it it produces pleasurable vivid visual sensations. Gradually a kaleidoscope of colour builds; mandala-like geometric patterns, visions of space, cogs, landscapes, human faces and even whole scenes are played out before your closed eyelids.
