Brion Gysin



Brion is a "cut up" writer, which means he takes fragments from normal written works and pieces them together to create a new unique written piece. In 1961, he created the Dreamachine. It was a cylinder shaped object that had small slips around. The cylinder is then placed on a turntable and spun at a specific rate. The viewer would usually face the cylinder with their eyes closed. the effect was that the viewer would see specific light patterns that create images and sometimes different colors.
