Psychotronic Flowers

Welcome to My Psychotronic Flowers

What is a Psychotronic Flower?
Think mind physics seeded by the I Ching and powered by you, the viewer.
Think I Ching. Tarot. Ouija. Dowsing. A portal.

The Psychotronic Flowers grew out of my collaboration with visionary artist Paul Laffoley, when I produced an edition of radionic devices from his 1998 design for the Hieronymus Box Two. I documented the process on film. Paul was himself drawing from a long lineage of psychotronic inventors dating back to the 19th century.

I also had the privilege of visiting Duncan Laurie, author of The Secret Art: A Brief History of Radionic Technology for the Creative Individual. In his home in Machiasport, Maine, I saw an incredible archive of vintage psychotronic devices — a treasure chest of functional metaphysical machines. That visit inspired me deeply.

I became fascinated with Wilhelm Reich and the concept of Orgonite — a material created by embedding metal shavings and quartz crystals in resin, said to amplify and transmute subtle energies. I learned to manufacture it and embed it in my devices.

Each Psychotronic Flower is also seeded through I Ching divination — cast using a set of coins I inherited from Paul Laffoley. The I Ching suffers no fools. It is not a gimmick. It is my guide in the design process.

My personal sigil is the crow — if I have a spirit animal, that is it. The crow appears as signature, as guardian, as pattern-seer.

I do not know how these Psychotronic Flowers will evolve.

Paul once said:

“If you learn how to use the device, you can get rid of it — because it’s powered by you. Then it’s simply an artifact. It is art.”

And that is exactly what this is.
A bridge. A machine. A portal.
And then — an object.
Art.
