This introduces the concept of a dining experience designed to simulate the sensory aspect of a psychedelic journey. Through projection mapping, binaural sounds, and other techniques, all five senses are enhanced without the use of actual psychedelics.

Each dish is inspired by a specific psychedelic substance and its associated rituals, using food as a cultural object to explore ancient practices and rituals from diverse cultures such as Ancient Egypt, Tibetan, Aztec, Vedic traditions, and more. Ingredients and visual styles reflect these practices and the effects of the substances. Using visual projections and other techniques transform the dining space to achieve sensory immersion.

The project was a collaboration with chef Mathias Fehr, whom co-conceptualized the dishes and prepared the food. The experience was hosted at Basso in Basel, Switzerland.
