Out of Body Experience #11 (OOBE#11)

The Real Unreal Fiction State is Upon Us
Statement from Artist Ben Riesman
"People who have had out of body experiences often say that they experienced seeing themselves from a short distance away, usually from behind. That also happens to be the "3rd Person Perspective" in contemporary video gaming. Coincidence?

In this video, our avatar picaro-anti-hero walks through a gallery where there are pictures and headphones advertising an intimate portrait of several Middle Easterners. Unable to connect, and feeling socially awkward, he tries to escape.

Out of body experiences are not like third person video games. And you don't wear a bag on your head.

TELL YOUR GUARDIANS-ANGELS-DEMONS TO PRAY WITH YOU HOLY MARY-ROSARY AND YOU WILL GET PROOF THAT OOBE IS DEMONIC AND IT WILL DESTROY YOU-YOUR ETERNAL SOUL!!!

cyborg lol, ps4, more like ps44! but great concept.

Must be like playing ps game. Never had that experience whilst in an OOBE, but it could help give you the sense and idea of an OOBE, and probably encourage the mind to accept the fact that it can be done. Which is half the battle in achieving an OOBE.

That was like silent hill or something
