Hypercomputation, Unconsciousness and Entertainment Technology

Recent developments in computer science introduce and discuss new concepts for computation beyond universal Turing machines. Quantum computing relates to new insights in quantum physics as interference and entanglement based on nonlocality. Several ideas about a new kind of field are presented and discussed. Human unconscious can be interpreted as tapping in these fields for resonating and spreading information. Assuming that culture is based on collective unconscious I propose designing entertainment technology for a new kind of user experience that can influence the individual unconscious and therefore the collective unconscious as well. Our ALICE project can be seen as a first attempt in this direction. Key words: hypercomputation, quantum field, mind, unconscious, culture, entertainment.
