Metascience “Spiricom”
London, “Dark secrets” exhibition, November 2025.
The Metascience Foundation, founded by American engineer George Meek, was dedicated to scientific research on the survival of consciousness after death. Its most famous project was Spiricom, an electronic device for direct communication with the dead. Developed together with medium William O’Neil, the instrument used 13 radio frequences to create an “audio bridge”.
Meek and O’Neil claimed to have recorded the voice of a deceased scientist guiding them from beyond the grave in the construction of the device. Although Spiricom became widely known, its results were never replicated by independent researchers, provoking criticism and scepticism. Nevertheless, it remains one of the earliest examples of Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC).
