<font color="#006699"><font size=3>We wash our nervous orbs about,
threading gushes and sprinkles of light into tumbling brains. We coax conversations
from darting figures, our friends, phantoms. We plunge a camera into the
churning and pull into the machine. May the conversations spill without
prejudice in the direction of our new friend. Let us talk about machines,
emotions and light.</font></font><br>

<p><font color="#008DA6" size="2">Install a video camera in the center of a party.
For the duration of the party take close-ups of the guests' eyes and ask
them for their reflections on being scanned. Produce a variety of media
from the scanned material and distribute to the guests. The goal is to
allow the media to gently warp perceptions of being during and after, the
party.<br>

<font color="#008DA6" size="2">Same as above, but install three cameras, each
focused on a different organ (eyes, ears, mouth, elbows, etc.). Print images
during the party and affix them to their source so that "Eye People" can
be differentiated from "Mouth People," etc. Feel free to trade organs.</font>
