Freedom of Perception thanks to Cybernetic Senses
Kai Landre

We live in a capitalist society that is constantly sending out inputs that stimulate our senses on a daily basis.
It almost seems like we've lost control over our own perception, and we're slaves of Marketing.

Is there any way out? Can Cybernetic Senses give us the key to pure perception of nature and life?

In this conference I will develop my theory on how Cybernetic Senses allow us to escape an hyper-stimulated reality and connect with the pureness of the physical realm.
