It's not unusual for art to make you feel something. Whether it's Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night, Grant Wood's American Gothic or even Banksy's Balloon Girl, paintings and sculptures can leave us feeling enlightened, inspired and even a little bit emotional.
What is perhaps less expected is for a piece of artwork to make you feel like you're sitting inside a giant mango. Or being slowly sliced up into spaghetti. Or swimming deep underwater with a shoal of silvery fish. Or all of the above.
These were just some of the crazy things I experienced when I visited the new immersive art experience that has just opened in Cardiff. Bringing together an award-winning team of artists, composers, scientists and philosophers, Dreamachine is an innovative new project that uses a mind-bending combination of sound and flickering lights to explore "the limitless potential of the human mind".
