Manifesto

This is a collage piece that began as a backdrop to a few live shows I did in 2001, premiering in Newcastle, Australia at the This Is Not Art festival. Afterward I edited it down, layered on live audio from performances I did in 1999 and 2001, and the on-screen text is from the original Detritus manifesto that I wrote in 1995. In light of the recent SOPA and PIPA intellectual property oppression, the ideas here seem worth yet another look. for more information on these ideas, see detritus.net

review:
What can I say, Thich Naht Hanh is a very wise man. I don't know if this is the best book I've ever read on anger, or the most practical, but it gave me lots to think and meditate on.

review:
As usual, PKD messes with your head in this "what is reality?" and "what is self?" psychodrama.

shelves: novels, politics

review:
I think this is still my favorite of all PKD's novels. It has the most sweeping vision of alternate reality and it is the most chilling and close to home, even if it's one of the most outlandish.
