Background

The Museum was created for the Half Century Celebration Red Carpet Extravaganza in March 2014. Zen invited friends to a party at the Staircase Theater in his hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. At the party he presented his physical inventions, launched the digital site and gave talks all while wearing a broken pair of glasses he had wired that day with a coat-hanger arm. He is pointing to the fix in the picture below.

In one impromptu moment, Zen, the number one psychedelic dancer in the world according to Google, was asked to demonstrate! Around him, some party-goers had been fanning themselves with Zen clouds so he asked them to move in and as luck would have it — a psychedelic song was playing.

The video of the event begins backwards. If you can make it through this then we get to see the inventions, the talks and even the dancing in the clouds!
