Abstract:
Technology is now in a place where unsophisticated computer users can alter their home environments for peripheral interaction. I have arranged my home for peripheral interactions to reprogram my subconscious as I go about my daily activities. Text and audio of my notes, transcribed dreams, and hypnotic scripts are interacted with while I am eating, clipping my nails, watching TV, reading on my computer, writing on my computer, and washing my hands. Interacting peripherally keeps me aware of ideas as I go about activities previously completed on autopilot. This paper presents my practice of self-hypnosis through peripheral interaction.
