The Eighth Dimension – Where the Mind Meets the Ocean: A Meditative Immersive Experience

The Eighth Dimension is a meditative immersive experience that submerges you in an underwater dimension crafted in real time from the brainwaves of those who visit it.

Filled with intricate paper-cut sculptures, floor-to-ceiling projection mapping, and an everchanging soundscape, you will experience the ocean surge or calm around in tune with your brainwaves. All of this is made possible by wireless EEG headbands, whose live data is used to craft the floor-to-ceiling projection mapping in real time. At the end of your meditation, you can tap your phone to receive a message personalized by your brainwaves, and a reading and explanation of your brainwave activity during your meditation.

• Intricate Paper Ocean: Meditate surrounded by hand-crafted larger-than-life paper-cut sculptures that shimmer and glow as they drift in a dynamic seascape created with floor-to-ceiling projection mapping.

• Breathwork Meditation: Sit or lie down in the midst of the waves as you are guided through a breathwork meditation workshop that calms your mind as the ocean calms around you.

• Live Brainwave Data: By wearing a wireless EEG headband during your meditation, your brainwaves will influence in real time the crashing waves of the ocean environment around you as they touch and are touched by the waves of those beside you.

• Message and Brainwave Reading: After your meditation, tap your phone to receive a personalized message and explanation of your brainwaves during your meditation.
