UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The Air Loom | (A Human Influencing Machine) | A project by artist Rod Dickinson. As of 11 October 2021 discussed on line starting here.[1]

Dickinson has attempted "to reconstruct a little known mind control machine from the 18th century. The machine was drawn and described in great detail by one time spy and tea broker James Tilly Matthews in 1810."[2]

Matthews was convinced the Air Loom "ran on magnetic fluids. Operated by skilled pneumatic chemists who controlled the warp of the fluids that travelled out of the machine toward the intended victim. [* * *] Matthews['s] writings and drawings of the machine were published by the then Apothecary of Bedlam" (i.e., Bethlehem Royal Hospital)[3] "John Haslam, in what has now become a classic text: Illustrations Of Madness, the title page of which is posted on the website.[4]
