I am very happy and proud to share that The Locus of Fear Seven (TLOF_7) has been selected for support through the CIIIC Start programme.
TLOF_7 is part of a new generation of research projects exploring how immersive experiences can be used effectively and responsibly. Within this trajectory, we will investigate fear, brainwaves, AI, and immersive technology as a way to open new perspectives on human experience, awareness, and transformation.
This project brings together artistic research, neuroscience, perception research, and immersive production.
A warm thank you to Prof. Ysbrand van der Werf and Amsterdam UMC for the scientific collaboration and trust.
Thank you to dr. Funda Yildirim from Psychologie Gezondheid Technologie (PHT) University of Twente, for bringing expertise in eye tracking and perception into the research.
Thank you to van Zuijlen for the earlier KPI development and contribution.
And a special thank you to Arne van de Vliet for his strategic support, guidance, and care throughout the wider development of the project.
My gratitude also goes to everyone who has supported this project behind the scenes, through a conversation, a moment of emotional support, a philosophical exchange, or simply by opening a door to a new way of seeing.
I am proud, grateful, and excited to begin this new chapter with Alien Mama.
More will unfold soon. Follow the journey.
