In the mind, there is a place just out of reach between knowing and feeling. When  we first wake, we have glimpses of it:  colors, fears, textures, childhood smells, organic sensations, birth and death. A mix of illogical but powerful things that defines us, if in very subtle ways.

Gnossienne No.1, a piano piece by Erik Satie partially inspired me to do an environment that combines feelings and elements of a mind in semiwakefuless. I took the liberty to remix Satie’s song - stretching, reversing, speeding up - attempting to cast a new sense of time and mood. I also made a very simple outfit to be worn in the space to accentuate one’s avatar’s position in the space and the light.

Special settings required
———————————-
You will need to set your Quality and Performance to Medium (Edit > Preferences > Graphics). I find the color of the space works best in midnight mode. Make sure to have your sound on and preferably use headphones.
