Thoughtographic Experiments – Results
The first image shows nine pieces (about 1x1cm each) of black and white photographical paper that I integrated in my ring yesterday.
The second one is the result of an enveloped photographic paper, that I gave into the hands of my friend Crystal, to take along with her on a trip to a magical healer.
During the healing session, the envelope stayed on a table next to her, and the process took 45 minutes.
Most interesting, that during the developing process in my darkroom, i could see the image getting stronger, – which is normal – but at a certain point I had the impression, that it would fade away again, and i quickly had to end the developing process to not loose it entirely.

Thoughtographic Experiments: Personal Objects – Results
Here are two of the 4 sheets of photographic paper attached in my two bags for exactly a weeks time. Each of them has their special purpose: One contains music and accompanies me to the bars where I work in the evenings, while the other one is more a chaotic bag. In the last named there are two tiny black spots noticeable in one of the images, which I enlarged below:

Thoughtographic Experiments: Personal Objects
Photographic paper sealed in black cardboard – more or less discretely integrated into my bags;
For the records: I used two layers of black cardboard paper, instead of black plastic bags like in the previously described thoughtographic city experiments. A similar method and material that Tomokichi Fukurai used in his thoughtographic experiments in the very early 20th century which are nicely documented and described in his publication Clairvoyance and Thoughtography.
Thoughtographic City – Berlin: Results
After 24 hours exposure attached to a tree, a red cross clothes container and to a car, here are the results after processing;
One question: What importance has the container and its respective material to the exposure?
Thoughtographic Kabinett – Results
The first image is the result of a one month exposure through the Hologram of Alice in Wonderland -below- that I described in an earlier post. The other exposures of the same experiment – photographic paper sealed behind wallpaper – came out entirely black.
