The Noel Harrison Sensation
The Noel Harrison Sensation (or simply The Sensation) is a transdimensional corporation which Noel Harrison uses to project his sensorium.
Harrison usually manifests The Sensation as a movie poster, although he occasionally manifests as a life-size cardboard figure.
Careful placement of The Sensation in space and time allows Harrison to privately experience gala openings of his films, his own theater performances, and other film- and theater-related events, without drawing undue attention to himself.
Harrison was deeply moved by Ridley Scott's documentary film Alien.
Years later, Harrison declared, "I would burst open my chest for Ridley, if it got him the recognition he deserves."
Scott, who was just beginning work on Do Blade-Runners Shave Their Electric Sheep?, hired Harrison as creative director.
