THE MAISON IS OPENING.
Today, Voyage reveals the Maison for Mind Computing.
We are designers, neuroscientists, philosophers, and engineers building neural interfaces for your inner voice, as objects of desire. Backed by Draper Associates and other believers.
Apply to be a Member of the Maison. Or join us inside — we’re hiring @maisonvyg

Hölderlin on poetry, beauty and the highest act of reason:
The highest act of reason is an aesthetic act. Truth and goodness are only united in beauty. The philosopher must possess as much aesthetic power as the poet. Poetry will once again become the educator of humanity.
“Less like a demo day, and more like Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn … with electronic music worthy of a Balenciaga show.”
Thanks, @alys_key, for covering the Maison.
Spoke to @khalio about straddling the worlds of technology and the arts, neurotech's real bottleneck, and that Saltburn-esque launch video.

Four weeks left to submit to this £60,000 prize seeking innovative creations that combine cutting edge tech and with the wisdom of craft.
While the standard of submissions so far has been fairly good, I've seen very few that are truly experimental and mad!! Aspiring artisan-technologists, your country/planet needs you!!!
people don’t know what mind computing feels like yet, or even what it really is.
teaching people how to want a neural interface in their everyday life is the work of @maisonvyg
Made art with the best people @wentoffscript @maisonvyg

Some details for those asking: the Maison reveal film was shot on 16mm film camera in the English countryside, and the poem is something I wrote and recited myself -- from the heart. The zeitgeist is palpable today.
Production is all human-made, with primarily old school Hollywood methods. Zero AI generated video. It was important for the Maison to capture the artistry and feel the friction of its own creative process.
And to clarify, the Maison is an expression of a new kind of company, not a physical place (yet). We do not see ourselves as a lab or traditional company type. We are a small technical team focussed on building desirable neural interfaces for cultural gravity.
So excited to share more in the coming weeks. And, we are selectively hiring in SF. Tag someone who might resonate with our thesis.

For context, the house/maison is an institutional structure used in the couture world (Paris, London, Milan) for building objects of craft. We are using this model to build the first neuro-ai company that operates like a maison — deep tech focused on design.
