Psychotronic Flowers

 

What is a Psychotronic Flower? Think of it as a mind machine powered by you, the viewer.

The Psychotronic Flowers grew out of my collaboration with visionary artist Paul Laffoley, when I produced an edition of radionic devices based on his 1998 design for the Hieronymus Box Two. Paul himself drew from a long lineage of psychotronic inventors dating back to the 19th century.

I also had the privilege of visiting Duncan Laurie, author of The Secret Art: A Brief History of Radionic Technology for the Creative Individual. In his home in Machiasport, Maine, I saw an extraordinary archive of vintage psychotronic devices.

The Psychotronic Flowers continue to evolve. At present, they are a bridge, a machine, a portal, an artifact.
