James Turrell Ganzfeld
“According to the artist, Ganzfeld is an art installation that slows viewers to a standstill, practically forcing them to succumb to another way of looking. As he puts it, Ganzfeld is creating experiences that allow viewers to ‘see themselves see’.”
“Blind Sight refers to a condition, brought on by trauma or dysfunction, which inhibits people with sight from actually seeing. I am interested in the seeing that occurs within. In the lucid dream there is a greater sense of color and lucidity than with the eyes open. I am interested in a place where the imaginative seeing and the seeing of the external world meet, where it is difficult to distinguish the seeing from within from the seeing from without.” James Turrell
