The evening was designed as an exploration of altered states—how art, science, and shared experience can expand perception and open new ways of understanding ourselves and the world.
We kicked off the evening with an immersive art installation designed to elevate consciousness through light and sound.
Guests had the opportunity to explore Chromasonic's mind-expanding Satellite One installation, an immersive piece that turns light into sound and sound into light to create an unique, expanded state of awareness and connection — sort of a psychedelic experience through art.
The experience was created by artists Johannes Girardoni, Orpheo McCord, and Joel Shearer and guests had a chance to hear from some of the founding team about their exciting work.
During the cocktail hour guests had a chance to experience the exhibit in groups of eight and mingle with others guests — all while enjoying the musical stylings of Michael Donte, the brains behind Black House Radio, who DJ'ed along with fellow LA-based DJ BODII.

From there we sat down with Robin Carhart-Harris, a leading scientist to learn about the latest research and where this psychedelic renaissance is headed.
Robin is the Ralph Metzner Distinguished Professorship in Neurology and Psychiatry at University of California, San Francisco. Before that he was at Imperial College London where he founded one of the world’s first psychedelic research centers. He is a leader in the field and his work, which has included studies with LSD, psilocybin, MDMA and DMT, is widely cited.
We explored the current psychedelic renaissance, some of the most compelling research going on right now, the challenges involved with researching psychoactive compounds, and where he sees this renaissance going.

The night culminated with a performance by artist Joe Patitucci, who transformed electricity from plants into a beautiful symphony of music.Joe Patitucci is a multimedia artist renowned for pioneering plant music and bio-sonification. His work, which translates plant bio-rhythms into ambient music, has inspired a new genre and opened paths for sound art to amplify ecological consciousness.
Joe’s installations, performances, and workshops have captivated audiences around the world from TED to SXSW to the Aspen Ideas Festival, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, and more. In 2021, his company Data Garden released PlantWave, a device that allows anyone with a smartphone and a plant to experience Joe’s innovative work. Joe shared the inspiration behind his work and how the technology he developed works to translate electricity from plants into ambient music. And he demonstrated the technology live — connecting various plants to create music via a synthesizer, vocal samples, piano, and bass.
