SENSORY

Sensory deprivation is powerful because so little needs to happen.

A blindfold removes distance.

A hood changes the room completely.

Ear protection takes away the small sounds you were using to predict me.

With sight, sound or movement reduced, attention turns inward and anticipation becomes much louder.

I am interested in what your mind invents when I stop giving it information.

The obvious part of sensory deprivation is darkness or silence.

The more interesting part is waiting.

You cannot prepare properly for something you cannot see approaching.

You begin listening for information that is no longer available. Small movements become enormous. Time becomes unreliable.

Combined with bondage or containment, that uncertainty can become the entire architecture of a session.

I do not need to fill the silence.
