Raised Inverted head chute

I was trying to fall asleep earlier and let my imagination assist me a bit. I imagined creating an art exhibit where there is some raised inverted boxes perched on stilts. You stick you head in them and you find yourself in a museum about perspective. The boxes are dressed up like dolls houses with a hole in the floor for your neck. The idea would be to create a Kind of analogue virtual reality. I don't think ai is ready to draw this thought of mine so I drew it myself.
The problem with the rig itself would be that people have different heights. There would need to be a rig underneath that allows people of different heights to be level. 

The goal of the art installation would be to make people aware of how small and insignificant we are. Even if you were the king or Queen of the whole planet and you lived for 700 years you would find you are insignificant, the whole earth is just a speck in the cosmos and our whole life is fleeting moment in time. Even the materials that make up your body are made almost entirely of empty space. 

The mini museum would show you visually how even the entire galaxy is tiny compared to the universe and 85 years is short compared to the 13 plus billion years of the universe's existence. 

You would be standing in a fake museum; only your head would be there. The fake mini museum shows you how grand everything is yet it is small and nested inside an art gallery. If it is the Tate modern then it would be the tubine hall. 

The thought is nice and unlikely to become true but the main purpose of the thought was to make it easier for me to fall asleep, to make me stop thinking about things that make me worried so at that time it was totally constructive.

Shooting Muting

When I was a young man I would go to amusement parks and play on the shooting gallery. They had a charming way of working, let me explain. 

There would be rifles nested on fixed tripods that can be swiveled in any direction. The rifles don't actually shoot anything but they jerk back slightly when the trigger is pressed to give the sensation of a bullet being fired. I believe they shine an invisible Lazer bean out of their turret instead when the trigger is pressed. If you hit the little bull's-eye target you would get a mechanical reaction. Sometimes it would be cheesy, for instance there would be an animatronic man and next  his head is a target. If you hit the target he would shout "hey, watch where you tooting that thing varmin". 

There would be a target next to a barrel and if you shoot it,a dog would pop up and bark at you. Some of the things would even squirt water at you. 

Lots of fun those things were.
