"Participants were asked to swallow one of the Exhibition Pills (below). Those taking part were then led into an empty space for 60 seconds.  They were then led out of the room and back into the reception area and thanked for taking part in the Placebo Exhibition." 

"William Blake was a visionary English poet and artist who wrote, etched, and printed illuminated books. He despised organised religion, but claimed to see visions of angels and devils, and regularly spoke to the spirit of his dead brother. His Prophetic works were apparently dictated to him by these apparitions.

Albion is an invitation to help Blake complete a new poetic work. Participants can channel Blake using the pentagram and a series of typewriters. 

Use the typewriters to help create a new poem by William Blake."
