La Monte Young's "Dream House" has reopened after being closed for the summer.  The Dream House is, simply put, a large lavender room with 32 speakers emitting sine waves in various locations throughout.  As one moves around the room, different tones are emphasized, and if one stays in the room long enough, aural and visual hallucinations do occur.  For a fuller description, Stylus magazine has written a nice review.
