Brainwave controlled Cartesian Theatre

The Caresian Theatre is a sense and shock-based virtual theatre based on Ivan' Dar's life and philosophical explorations on the South Bank, a visceral addendum to the South book and software.

A theatre in which pain, fear, pleasure and anxiety are the dramatis personae, producers and agents in a set of visceral productions which map out the truth tables of human possibility A less painful set of experiential tools are available via the book South, which is my attempt to consolidate and interpret the legacy of Ivan Dar.

Like many before him he asked are we one thing – or are we two – mind and body? If we are two, are they one? Mind-body or mind and body? Or are we mind or body, as in this truth table:

FF not-mind not-body

TT body-mind

TF mind not body

FT body not mind

Ok so the cardboard is a bit rubbish (literally), the second to top image was an accident - I called the wrong image in the code, instead of a character got an interesting disruption to the virtual theatre facade - apposite given Ivan Dar's problem with topological boundaries...The characters are sourced from Google Street View around the South Bank.
