Incredible German documentary about Ted Kaczynski, LSD, the history of the Internet, digerati, technology, mathematics, utopianism, Ken Kesey, Heinz von Foerster, and CIA mind-control experiments. SO GOOD.

Time-Based Art
Archived From September 13, 2007
This is almost certainly irrelevant, last-minute information, but for those of you readers who are both a) Portland residents, and b) free this evening, I will be presenting a once-ever-only immersive Power Point environment at PICA's Time-Based Arts festival tonight. It will be around 10:30pm at this year's "The Works," the Wonder Ballroom, at 128 NE Russell St.
This event presumably costs some money, but will be excellent. Other than myself, Lucky Dragons, Hooliganship, and Mean Age will present information and music. Also screening will be a pantheon of animated films from such luminaries as Takeshi Murata, E*Rock, and Michael Bell-Smith.

Not doing this presentation again would be a mistake.
