TransformationTech#1: Dream Machine


Carsten Nicolai (of Raster-Noton designers & record label, aka Alva Noto) has just opened a show in Berlin consisting of his remake of a Dream Machine (image above); Brian Gysin & Ian Sommerville's mind-altering light emitting stroboscopic rotating cylinder invented in 1961. The original design was for the cylinder to be mounted atop a record player!
