Linda Mastrangelo and Eric Whitman, from San Francisco, CA, Linda is a writer and artist and both gave workshops at our conference. Here is an example of one of their pieces:
The Flying Room: A Journey into Lucidity is a Special Events Arts project. The vision is to create an interactive room by projecting short films on a giant screen that are recreations of actual lucid dreams experienced by the audience. The intention is that these ‘dreams' will transport the audience as if in a ‘dreamlike state’ of lucidity. |
