Roy Ascott challenges social norms and stabilities by prompting a rethinking of the mind and its extreme conditions.  The research into such field is seen as hostile in the light of reductionism - "We should understand also that institutional science has always seen art as a hostile territory where intuition is privileged over rationality, and reality is constructed without license."  As examples he mentions multiple identities through cyberspace and telepresence as ways of violating the isolation of the self, however to reach the more extreme environments of the mind, courage and vision is required, this could involve plant technologies to navigate mind - connecting us with multiple worlds.
