Unity is the concept behind the artwork. An analogy would be the way in which a conductor directs a wide variety of instruments in an orchestra to produce a symphony that is recognized as a single comprehensible piece. Unity is how well different parts of an artwork build on each other.
Reality tunnel is a term coined by Timothy Leary and popularised by Robert Anton Wilson, akin to the idea of representative realism. The theory states that, with a subconscious set of mental "filters" formed from their beliefs and experiences, every individual interprets this same world differently, hence "Truth is in the eye of the beholder."

Four on Reality
All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there's no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we're the imagination of ourselves. - Bill Hicks
Reality and Life
Reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or may be thought to be. In a wider definition, reality includes everything that is and has been, whether or not it is observable or comprehensible. A still more broad definition includes everything that has existed, exists, or will exist, not just in the mind, or even more broadly also including what is only in the mind.
Historically, philosophers have sometimes considered reality to include nonexistent things such as "gold mountains" in a sense referred to as a subsistence, as well. By contrast existence is often restricted solely to being (compare with nature).
Reality is often contrasted with what is imaginary, delusional, in the mind, dreams, what is abstract, what is false, or what is fictional. To reify is to make more real, and to abstract is the opposite. The truth refers to what is real, while falsity refers to what is not. Fictions are not considered real.
It is always contrasted with what is not so included, as being not real, so the term is somewhat ambiguous in its contradictory usages.

"In a sense we're all artists because we're all creative beings. Terence McKenna advocates self-creation rather than compliance with an imposed cultural paradigm"

Birth of the Human Imagination
McKenna waxes poetic about the very intimate relationship that humans have with the imagination. He uses the metaphor of birth to describe the consequence of an animal with a direct connection to this source and the ability to order ideas into matter.
Culture Is Your Operating System
Terence McKenna and his idea of extropy is explained through the window of opportunity we can call novelty.
One of Terence McKenna's most widely promulgated ideas is known as Novelty theory. It predicts the ebb and flow of novelty in the universe as an inherent quality of time. McKenna developed the theory in the mid 1970s after his experiences in the Amazon at La Chorrera led him to closely study the King Wen sequence of the I-Ching. Novelty theory involves ontology, extropy, and eschatology

The Goddess
what "real science" may be, I do not know... science can only be applied within a cultural context. Every scientist is first and foremost a subjective human being who is a member of a historically conditioned society with certain unconscious values and underlying mythological assumptions.
