Out of Body Experience Clinic. Louis B James, NYC
This show was a pop-up out of body experience clinic that blended into the other storefronts of the Lower East Side in Manhattan. Guests would make an appointment here or walk in. When you showed up you would wait for awhile on the top floor of the gallery, watch The Bob Monroe 24/7 Out of Body Experience News Network (full video below) and enjoy a coffee. Then you were taken downstairs by a docent and given a virtual reality headset that would take you out of your body for around 8 minutes.
