Psychedelic Virtual Reality with Dr. David Glowacki

What’s good beautiful humans!

I’m very excited to share this mind-melter of an episode with you all! My guest this week is Dr. David Glowacki: scientist, artist and cultural theorist. Dr. Glowacki has appointments as a Research Fellow at the Royal Society scientific academy in the UK and as a Philip Leverhulme Fellow at the University of Bristol.

Dr. Glowacki was so gracious to come on the BNP and talk to us about his current work creating virtual reality environments in order to induce mystical-like experiences similar to what one experiences on the psychedelic journey, for the purpose of healing and treating depression, addiction and PTSD.

Dr. Glowacki heads up “an eclectic academic research group called the ‘Intangible Realities Laboratory’ (IRL), which is joint between the Centre for Computational Chemistry and the Department of Computer Science.” He has “published in several domains: non-equilibrium molecular physics, classical & quantum dynamics, biochemistry, digital aesthetics, interactive art, human-computer interaction, high-performance computing & algorithm development, evolutionary algorithms, religion & power, cultural theory, atmospheric physics, optics, and scientific instrument development.”

Dr. David Glowacki is an absolutely brilliant thinker and an eloquent speaker, and it was a real blessing to have him on Barbarian Noetics. Check out his website to learn more about his work, background, and current projects at https://glow-wacky.com/.

So strap in and come along as we journey into an exploration of the Intangible Realities that underpin our reality. Enjoy this episode, and don’t forget to rate, review and spread the word about the BNP.

Much love y’all,
Conan
