Mind Pilot
Immersive art installation
Mind Pilot is a physical & digital installation, fruit of a collaboration with Loop.pH in 2018. Conceived by Loop.pH founder and art director Rachel Wingfield, Mind Pilot was commissioned by Ameena M. McConnell, Curator at Large of the Design Museum London.
This mind powered airship flew over the Design Museum’s atrium for 8 days during the London Design Festival 2018. Visitors to the museum were given the opportunity to pilot the huge airship using just the power and focus of their minds whilst being guided through a VR meditation program.
