White particles are blown around in a big transparent cylinder. Visitors can take a seat in an armchair in the middle of the vortex or observe from the outside. In the eye of the storm, it is calm and safe. In this spectacular meditation machine, one can follow the patterns, focus on layers of 3D pixels or listen to its waterfall sound. One could call it a training device, challenging the visitor to find peace in a fast-changing environment.
