Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.

A community of those without community, for a community to come. A schizo-scenic video-collage of the disturbing ‘normality’ of Moby Dick.
