O.J.A.I. Paranoid Meditation

The Non-Singularity Performance Series is a program of performances exploring the universe as a non-singular entity. Held within the distinctive architecture of the 4th Space Meditation Centre, designed to facilitate immersive experiences and applied modes of attention, the series offers a unique platform for contemplation. ‚Paranoid Meditation,‘ is a guided listening session from the Office for Joint Administrative Intelligence (Chris Dreier and Gary Farrelly). This piece promulgates political signals, homoerotic imaginaries, and cryptic dog whistles embedded in the built environment. The intervention combines story telling with live modular and synthetic sound accompaniment created specially for the occasion. The thematic resonance of ‚Paranoid Meditation‘ with the futuristic, monolithic architecture of the 4th Space Meditation Centre opens up the possibility of exploring architectonic and existential themes simultaneously. Both the centre and the series are produced and curated by artist and philosopher Dome Wood.
The performance is sold out already.
