In an age when tech billionaires talk openly about humans becoming AI gods and the traditional religions that our societies have been based on seem threatened, the work questions the wisdom of such promises. The God Helmet™ is a response to the Koren Helmet, developed by two Canadian neuroscientists in the early 2000s who began experimenting with subtle temporal lobe stimulation associated with how we understand God. Patients reported having profound religious and mystical experiences including hearing voices, seeing visions, out of body experiences, feeling the presence of dead relatives, angels, demons, oneness with the universe, even the presence of God. The technology is now being trialled in fully immersive video games. These developments pose a host of questions about religion, commerce, and the unification of the two. The work’s strong industrial construction style speaks to the protective role religion has played in society until recent times. With nostalgic visual references of pop art, 50s sci fi films, the work’s makeshift aesthetic mirrors humanity’s current, embryonic understanding of itself and of God and the potential dangers of such lofty aims. Raising the question are we as advanced as we think? Echoing Einstein’s claim that our technology has exceeded our humanity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/b990daf6-a2bb-4e1f-a2fc-4b259ba886c3/bipolar+all+stars.png sculpture - “The Bipolar All Stars Watch Over Me” (2020) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/cfa43be6-9297-4102-983f-3fe6b9d6ec64/2.png sculpture - “Amor Fati(Love Of One’s Fate)” (2019) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/c6963ef0-6e29-473d-b7db-4553fe998318/amor+fati.png sculpture - “Amor Fati(Love Of One’s Fate)” (2019) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/ecb5ddbc-bba2-4d80-acbd-9e042255aaaa/self+portrait+%28210+%C3%97+210mm%29.png sculpture - “Self Portrait (Stars)” (2018) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/ec7c81db-6424-46f7-99ba-7b40618fca36/one+ultimate+realization+copy.png sculpture - "One Ultimate Realization" (2016) https://www.leemitchell.com.au/film daily 0.75 2025-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/1736030932100-M1S6NJZAW5EM8YW6L7N9/image-asset.jpeg film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/1736030932100-M1S6NJZAW5EM8YW6L7N9/image-asset.jpeg film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/1739877498360-HXV64JQCK9WK0FK9J4R7/image-asset.jpeg film - "Illuminated" (2011) https://www.leemitchell.com.au/actions daily 0.75 2025-02-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/1740053602334-YE944JYJ6TEJD6L0LOE4/image-asset.jpeg actions - "Blood On The Leaves" (2024) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/1740053602334-YE944JYJ6TEJD6L0LOE4/image-asset.jpeg actions - "Blood On The Leaves" (2024) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/1740053520446-XGU07KW5Y8H1FB1WZ6II/image-asset.octet-stream actions https://www.leemitchell.com.au/amor-fati-love-of-ones-fate-2019 daily 0.75 2022-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/c6963ef0-6e29-473d-b7db-4553fe998318/amor+fati.png Amor Fati (Love Of One's Fate), 2019 - Amor Fati (Love of One’s Fate), 2019 With this work I have juxtaposed the oppressive historical associations that accompany mental illness, embodied by the straight jacket, with the use of a typically cheerful Hawaiian fabric.

Offering an alternate reality, revealing secret symbolism hidden in plain sight and satisfying a quest deep within to the know the unknowable. Using the device of an imaginary conspiracy theory about the fabled secret cabal of world leaders, the work hopes to create dialogue about the surveillance state, history, truth and the nature of belief. The Black Chamber was the earliest incarnation of the NSA, and like the owl, a super predator, unseen but all-seeing, imbued with near magical powers Inspired by Jan Van Eyck’s “Last Judgement”. In Van Eyck’s time, judgement was saved for God. Today, memories, once known only by you and your creator are now recorded and stored in underground data banks. Devised and built while fighting Stage IV cancer, given just months to live, the spectre of judgement weighing heavily upon me. The work is comment on the seductive nature of all belief systems and how the line between fact and fiction can blur. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/1599614810611-U5EK4ZZMKYCLJHLTNN9N/_RT_7440.jpeg The Owls, The Black Chamber and The Twin Pillars, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/1599615224175-FI7RJBFGCGRKW0RQ13NW/_RT_7457.jpeg The Owls, The Black Chamber and The Twin Pillars, 2020 https://www.leemitchell.com.au/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2022-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/b3857adc-a5c3-4865-9ca4-cb3509caef90/IMG_0540.jpg The God Helmet™, 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/2610950e-6b16-458f-af9a-e3a39921b5c1/IMG_0561.jpg The God Helmet™, 2021 - The God Helmet™ 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/6a57b89e-c38e-41e2-bfca-bef9053564af/IMG_0560.jpg The God Helmet™, 2021 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/afe448e0-a536-4b41-85c1-45a04b0067c2/IMG_0496.jpg The God Helmet™, 2021 https://www.leemitchell.com.au/new-page daily 0.75 2022-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c119ac2f93fd4a42f6829fd/ecb5ddbc-bba2-4d80-acbd-9e042255aaaa/self+portrait+%28210+%C3%97+210mm%29.png Self Portrait (Stars), 2018 - Self Portrait (Stars) 2018 In 2006 I lost my mind. 12 years later I made a 3D version of that experience, made from toy boxes, surveillance cameras, sacred geometry, Matrix references, raining frogs, civil disobedience and Coldplay lyrics.
