While softly closing my eyes during a candle meditation to the sound of a beating drum, I experience threads of light making shape-shifting 3D structures inside of my head. I feel as if I am fully occupying this imaginary space - laying in a room inside – a sort of sacred space. I go on to consider the factors contributing to this experience. I feel into my body’s response to experiencing the beating drum. I feel the muscles on my face, specifically those around my forehead and temple relax. I acknowledge the likelyhood that the aperture of my pupil is large in this dim environment. I notice how my pupils are veiled horizontally by my eyelids and vertically by my eye lashes and the way the meniscus of the fluid of my eye distorts what’s left of the light. And then I realize…

I can build this! I know what it would take to begin building a simulation of this experience so that others can enter a shape-shifting sanctuary of candle meditation. The biofeedback technology needed to measure the phenomena related to most of the variables I’ve identified already exists. A simulation of this experience controlled by the physical response of a viewer is possible.

Where does this come from?

My body’s response to listening to the beating of a drum
The release of muscle tension in my face
The wide aperture of my pupils mostly veiled by my eyelids and eyelashes
The way my these variables seemed to shift along with the pattern of my beating heart.
My next thought was. The biofeedback technology associated with these variables exists. I can build this! I can build a room that allows other people to experience what I experienced in this candle meditation – to use technology to facilitate relaxation.

What is the value of this?

I knew that while this was a perceived reality that it wasn’t necessarily a reality that could be

Life as infrastructure

We all think we know what nature sounds like. It’s birds chirping, wind through trees, thunder echoing through the valley. These are all sounds that come from physical phenomena in nature, producing waves perceivable by the human ear: the need to mate, currents of air and water, static electricity. There are other phenomena in our natural environment, however, that produce information which we cannot perceive through our biological senses.

The course of human history has been moving towards advanced technology which enhances our ability to observe the world beyond these faculties. As stone tools were a way for us to expand our physical strength, electronic tools expand our ability to perceive phenomena previously outside of the human experience.

Digital technology has become a natural extension of our human senses. With it, we are not just gaining the ability to observe new information. We are revealing new patterns of creative expression. These revelations raise questions about our own place in a Universe filled with natural elegance.

Moving towards the digital world. Instead of renouncing it as incompatible with meditation / physical and spiritual wellness, work to improve the ergonomics of digital space and the relationship between our bodies and digital technology.

WHY MEDIA LAB?

Actively promoting a unique, antidisciplinary culture, the MIT Media Lab goes beyond known boundaries and disciplines, encouraging the most unconventional mixing and matching of seemingly disparate research areas. It creates disruptive technologies that happen at the edges, pioneering such areas as wearable computing, tangible interfaces, and affective computing. Today, faculty members, research staff, and students at the Lab work in more than 25 research groups on more than 350 projects that range from digital approaches for treating neurological disorders, to a stackable, electric car for sustainable cities, to advanced imaging technologies that can “see around a corner.” The Lab is committed to looking beyond the obvious to ask the questions not yet asked–questions whose answers could radically improve the way people live, learn, express themselves, work, and play.
