'Thalamus' is a simple user led environment designed for DATA projection into a gallery space where the user navigates the work with a mouse or slider set on a plinth placed squarely infront of the projection. The piece uses a metronome scale as a tuning device allowing anyone using it to unfold a past life regression experienced by a man under hypnosis
The 'past life' is a documented narrative transplanted from the subject's mind by recording the session to digital or electronic (cyber)space and as such draws a parallel between the unearthing of buried information in the brain with some ideas of information/data retrieval in electronic space
