The flashes of light and the sound background of electric impulses synchronise themselves with our brain, stimulating visual hallucinations.

The Pinocchio Effect is a machine with electrical impulses which gives the feeling that the length of your nose is being altered.
Carsten Höller is in synch with our senses and plays at giving us “hallucinations” with colour, light and playfulness – to great effect!
