Remember me as a time of day.

Posted on by Lynda Joy

It is imperative for me to explore everything that is here and to do so with the highest degree of honesty that I can possibly express. I am trying to think of a way to explain how basic of a task this is. To me, at the core of all of this is experience. There is an entire world unfolding constantly within the sphere of my experience, and it dances about in various ways that compel me to higher and higher levels of immersion in it. I look at what is presented before me and I try to figure out how it all fits together.

Anything that happens in the world also happens within my own being because there are no ins and outs of this thing, no insides and outsides. There are only forces which can act on other forces to give the illusion of separateness, but really it’s just an exchange and an interaction. It is pure symbiosis. I exist WITH the world, not IN it. It is like an elastic thing where every bit of my own movement takes with it a reconfiguration of my whole world and every stretch of the world takes me with it by vibrating upon my senses.

Lynda Joy is a American PhD student living in Denmark, researching sensorimotor training with multi-modal Augmented Reality technologies by using methodologies from Cognitive Neuropsychology. During her MA, she worked very closely with the Center for Subjectivity Research and studied Phenomenology and its plausible implementations in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science ("naturalized" phenomenology). Between her MA and PhD, she worked with labs in Berlin (Germany), Adelaide (Australia), Tallinn (Estonia), Zurich (Switzerland), and Paris (France). She was a keynote speaker at IEEE VR in 2016, and presented at the Augmented Reality World Expo in 2017. In her spare time, she is currently writing a novel about a virtual simulation of bardo (the stage between life and death to reincarnation in Tibetan Buddhism). Her goal is to create experiences with new technologies that help people access more of the embodied subjectivity of another person/persons. Lynda wants her work to revere compassion to help allow the world to realize what a gift it is to both give and receive. Lynda is a strong believer in a better world that we collectively make by sharing a common vision, and that this vision comes through sharing our stories and our truths. That's what this blog is all about.
