Void Contemplation Tactics is a series of meditation videos from artist Daniel Chamberlin, aka Cosmic Chambo.
Today's 15-minute guided meditation is accompanied by Chamberlin's video mandala made from heavily manipulated slow-motion footage of the Prairie Creek Reservoir in East Central Indiana.
The 20200330 installment of Void Contemplation Tactics also features "Witches Brew" from PJS' 2020 album Precipice. PJS is the electronic music project of Patrick Dique and Jordan Christoff. "All sounds created live with synthesizers, field recordings, and effects," they tell us. "No computer sounds, screens or presets present during the creation process."

This meditation practice is rooted in the Zen tradition, and informed by Chamberlin's time as a resident of the Indianapolis Zen Center. Today's meditation includes an excerpt from Zen Master Seung Sahn's Compass of Zen (1997).
Chamberlin is an artist and writer based in Muncie, Indiana.
