Abstract
Stasis: The creation and exploration of subjective experiential realities through hypnosis, psychosynthesis and interactive digital technology.
Keywords: Virtual Reality, the Fourth Dimension, Hypnosis, Psychosynthesis.
Stasis is an experimental project that sets
out to explore the inner consciousness through a combination of
hypnosis, psychosynthesis and digital technology.
Virtual reality has
set out to synthesise a perceived reality, focusing on the "out
there", very much in line with a reductionist, empirical approach to
understanding reality.
Stasis represents a counter balance to this by
attending to the inner formulation of realities as experienced in
dreams and under hypnosis.
The aim is to create a system for the
authoring and interactive experience of "realities of the
imagination".
It is intended that Stasis would be realised as an art
form and also find practical application in counselling and related
practices.
