The Revered Gaze

“Gothic cathedrals (and IMAX theaters) provide instructive examples of the conscious use of artistic media – space, form, light, sounds – to produce religious-mystical, i.e. psychedelic, experiences.” – Timothy Leary

Alison Griffiths
“The imax is the contemporary equivalent of what was once the gothic cathedral.”
