World’s Quietest Room

quitest room

Art is supposed to challenge our senses (or just be asinine and pretty to look at). This project is literally challenging our perception of senses by eliminating them, and by eliminating all outside sources forcing us to listen to our internal ones. I think this would be awesome, disorientating, and a challenge just to see how long before the insanity sets in, apparently no one has lasted longer then 45 minutes. The assumption also goes that these scientists were smoking weed while watching Altered States.

“Scientists at Minneapolis’ Orfield Labs created their own soundless room, an anechoic chamber. Their studies have found that when putting subjects within the chamber, they begin to hallucinate within 30 minutes.”
