Global consciousness reveals a small section of a world map in a rectangular window that shows the current night and day hemispheres. Once a minute a short message is displayed while the map is panning to the geographical location of the author of the message. One can observe people having dialogues with each other and recognise that the map and the messages are posted live from all over the world. |

BackgroundBrad describes that the inspiration for "global consciousness" comes from his dj background. As a dj he becomes connected with his audience in a very primal and non-verbal way. If the chemistry between crowd and dj is right this can bind together and they push each other further and further. The dj reading the crowds preferences and adjusting his selection of sounds, vocals, rhythms and harmonies - and the crowd with their reactions. This bond is continuously changing. For both parties this can be a very intense experience of exchange of energies and emotions. |
