Chasing the Dot: Ganzfeld = Wavefield

Ganzfeld = Wavefield is a heart-core immersive rollercoaster of light, colour and spatial sound. Creating a sensorial plunge into the outer limits of perception. Within a vast, horizonless Ganzfeld space presented in a gigantic dome which can host up to 96 visitors a time.

The audience is floating through coloured storm-like fields of inner patterns, blazing with indirect light, 1 million lumen waves carrying vivid after-images.

At the centre of their gaze, a single floating point, the foveal dot, flares to life and remains fixed no matter where the eye turns. And slowly morphing into a tunnel to the outer borders of the senses.

Presented by Kunstmuseum at Lowlands Festival 2026. The installation explores stroboscopic thresholds and synaesthesia. Viewers experience a sensory fusion, seeing with their ears and listening with their eyes. Every modulation of hue, frequency, and decay reveals the hidden architecture of consciousness, exposing its hinges and seams. The audio emerges directly from the humming, pulsing, and crackling of the powerful lights, intertwining seamlessly with the visual hallucinations. It sounds like a rhythmic, electric storm; rich, textured, and hypnotically synchronized with waves of colour. In the lineage of Brion Gysin's cut-up technique, the meticulously crafted light score fragments and reassembles vision, prompting open-eye hallucinations.

Light and sound become tangible matter. Perception transforms into choreographed dance, casting each viewer as co-author.

Ganzfeld = Wavefield demonstrates how flexible our perception of reality truly is, highlighting how astonishingly fine-tuned our brains are in creating consciousness.

A very individual experience, felt collectively.
