hallucination Visor - soldering & mind hacking workshop

Modify welding goggles to project diffuse flickering colors. Hit resonant frequencies of visual cortex and observe complex unstable spatiotemporal patterns. Hack your brain.

Brain Machine / Hallucination Visor kit includes
  • Custom printed circuit board
  • Preprogrammed micro-controller : 100+ color light patterns, shuffle, browse, or play in sequence
  • Passive components, batteries, switches and LEDs
  • Laser cut light diffuser panels with custom quasi-crystal artwork
  • Everything you need ( additional materials such a as soldering and glue will be provided )
Brain Machine / Hallucination Visor kit effects:
  • Flicker induced geometric visual hallucinations
  • Ganzfeld hallucinations
  • Other neurological illusions and demonstrations

The hallucination visor displays immersive flickering lights. While completely safe for most people, individuals that suffer from photosensitive epilepsy or flicker induced vertigo should not use this device. The visor is not designed for individuals with a lazy eye or other ophthalmological conditions that interfere with convergence and depth perception.

Laser Cut Textiles Workshop

Laser Cut Textiles

Learn how to lasercut textiles! This machine enables entirely new possibilities from easily cutting pattern pieces (within 1' x 2' dimensions) to creating new textures, functional decorations, dimensional objects, and even etching images or text onto fabric! This class will also include sewing tutorials for lasercut textile applications. Different techniques will be demonstrated and experimenting will be encouraged!

We first ran "Laser Cut Textiles" back in October right before halloween, and it was a huge hit. We are very excited to be offering again and part of our regular programming.

Part 1 of 2 - January 21st, 12-6PM
Part 2 of 2 - January 22nd, 12-6PM
