In a letter to the author, Professor Robert Morris (Koestler Chair of Parapsychology at the University of Edinburgh) outlined the principles 'psychometry'…

"The concept of objects (or places) seeming to record events and then play them back for sensitive people is generally referred to as psychometry. The objects can be called psychometric objects or token objects".
(Robert Morris 21 October 1986)

'Psychometric architecture' extends the principals of psychometry through the integration of surveillance and digital technologies into the fabric of a buildings …images of events [meeting, talking, consuming, touching, thinking, looking, eating, reading, …] taking place within the building throughout the day are processed [merged, transformed, deconstructed, inversed, layered, reversed,…] and replayed through the structures windows throughout the night. Externalising the internal organs of the place (the processes that bring life and meaning to a structure), the day is regurgitated. Gazing through the windows at night triggers these human traces… a buildings memory reflected through a glass darkly… an inverted Panopticon… a pshychometric narrative…
