In the early 90's there were 'brain machines' available commercially, (may still be?) they had glasses and headphones, and induced brain patterns over like a 20 minute program. The one I used was very similar to the two programs available in the 'Bindu Shards', relaxing- alpha waves, and energising- active waves? It was pretty good actually. Practising meditators will be able to access some of these states.
My visit didnt include the 'Bindu Shards' but after having seen the pod whilst waiting to go in 'Dhatu', I dont feel that i missed the best part of this exhibition.
The first piece is beautiful, although I have noticed that the protection needed to keep the expensive l.e.d.s from being touched i.e the white line, precludes the viewer from experiencing the ultimate aim (for me) of seeing Turrells Light Spaces.
In 'Dhatu' I see the fullest and most complete light space realisation Turrell has ever made, a work of absolute beauty and joy. The entry is staged and limited to 5 people at once which keeps it fresh and enjoyable (as opposed to a cattlemarket queue, I hate queues), the main space is astonishingly absorbing, and after becoming accustomed to the light, panoramic. The panoramic experience of this one is amplified by the exit now becoming as much a part of the piece- looking outwards. Another new innovation.
Roden is well advanced-the world waits to find out how the bookings and management of visitors will occur. I want to go and be there.
