INSIGHT

Experiment Shifted From Seances To Tech

  • The Scole sessions evolved from Victorian-style mediumship into instrument-mediated phenomena like self-developing film and sealed-recorder voices.
  • That shift reframed the project from proving life-after-death to probing interdimensional/time-travel hypotheses.
INSIGHT

Mirror Feedback As A 'Soft Spot'

  • Project Alice used angled mirrors and a camera feedback loop to create a visual "void" that entities could fill with images.
  • The group treated that feedback medium as a soft spot in reality where nonphysical images could form and interact in real time.
ANECDOTE

Blue Appeared In The Feedback Loop

  • On April 20, 1998, the group recorded an animated face they nicknamed "Blue" with large slanted eyes that resembled a Grey.
  • Blue blinked and reacted to questions, implying a live, two-way visual link rather than a replayed image.
