Urban Wyrd: A mode not a genre. A sense of otherness within the narrative, experience, image or feeling concerning a densely human-constructed area or the in-between spaces and edge-lands bordering the bucolic and the built -up: Or surrounding modern technology with regard to another energy at play or in control: be it supernatural, spiritual, historical, nostalgic or psychological. Possibly…
What if a technique was available that enabled one to insert a set of images/clips/visual cues into a machine - it processes the moods and colors and themes - ultimately dispensing a small, clear pill you would take before going to sleep, which releases a nanobot payload that quickly navigates your bloodstream and floods your brain with a perfectly fine-tuned (yet original) dream concept that would contain an intuitive and “understanding” blend of the data you fed the machine. Dream duration (5 min to 7½ hours) and personal data (preferences, experience, toggle sleep apnea alarm) is set either via the external holographic keypad, or the startup terminal.
Realizing the idea would only take getting a bio-engineer, a physics professor, a basement chemist w/o morals, a neurosurgeon w/o medical ethics, a genious programmer, couple of Intel people and the 2 Davids (Cronenberg and Lynch) together on this.
I’m thinking it shouldn’t take more than 2-3 weeks, tops. The Kickstarter will be up and collecting soon - every backer will get a commemorative pill from the first safe batch, pledges over 1000 bucks will also get one with original content from the Davids + firmware upgrades to enable upcoming features such as “Nightmare OptOut” and “Lucid Dream modular support” (both will require DirectX 70)
