What lies beyond the boundaries of our ordinary perception? 

Across cultures and throughout history, humans have reported encounters with beings from other dimensions: serpents of wisdom, divine mothers, insectoid engineers, trickster jesters, light beings pulsing with infinite intelligence, and many more. 

With the resurgence of DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine) research - such as the groundbreaking studies at Imperial College London - and the growing body of firsthand accounts from modern psychonauts, we are beginning to glimpse a hidden universe that challenges our very understanding of reality.

Join Batuhan Bintas, a creative technologist and DMT research participant at Imperial College, visualising the ineffable, bringing altered states of consciousness to life through art and code. 

WHAT TO EXPECT:

• Exploration of DMT entities: a focused dive into archetypes often reported in DMT experiences, including machine elves, mantis beings, divine feminine presences, jesters, light beings, and others.
• Cross-cultural parallels: linking modern encounters with ancient depictions such as jinns in Islam, angels in Christianity, Egyptian neters, Greek mystery figures, prehistoric cave paintings, and other sacred traditions worldwide.
• Historical continuity: suggesting a recurring pattern of contact possibly stretching back to humanity’s earliest consciousness, reflected in cave art, hieroglyphs, sacred myths, temple inscriptions, modern dreams, psychedelic visions, and artificial intelligence.
• Scientific breakthroughs: featuring current research (e.g., Imperial College studies) investigating these encounters in rigorous, empirical ways.
• A Timeless thread: tracing how consciousness, ancient wisdom, and new technologies intertwine to illuminate the mystery of these beings.

The question remains: are we finally ready to understand what they’ve been trying to tell us? And more importantly, are we ready to meet them?
