Maybe I just can't keep my hands of a "completed" work, so I'll be hacking parts of our Mutant Vehicle to embrace this year's theme of "The Psyche..."
Any suggestions? What are you doing with the theme?

Post by **AntiM** » Wed Dec 08, 2004 8:08 am

Well, since I had twelve painted heads on top of the bike as Heads in the Clouds for the vault of heaven, I fell confident that with a little fine-tuning, or maybe a complete overhaul, I can produce the soon to be much cliched Head Trip.

I'm also thinking of Anti M's Home for Wayward Art, that's non-thematic but oh well, it is a potential camp project. A place to either abandon or adopt small art, an Insane Art Asylum?

captain,
i got it all figured out...we tear out the seats and the table in the trailer and set up a couch and a chair and do mobile psychiatric evaluations...we could re design the trailer to look like a shrinks office....what do you think???

Nice one, Duke. The big el wire clock would let everybody know that we bill by the playa hour. "Tell me about your fahzer..."

I'm making a womb that people can crawl into and hear heartbeats and mommy's comforting voice. Something nice and creepily oedipal.

Well, since the theme is psyche, I'm thinking of getting a nurses costume and handing out Prozac.

Hi Mr. Jellyfish! How are you? We have not talked in a while. I'd like to start having fun on the e-playa again. I've been participating in radical self-expression and I would like to put my clothes back on now. I will need to visit the moble shrink. I will also need some prozac.

My theme for 2005, being a loyalist of BORG2, will be the Devil's advocate. I will seek the "truth" or the hidden meaning of dreams, conciously. I know Devil costumes are not in any way original but I am completely obsessed with horns right now. I am making them and I would love it if the community had any ideas for me to use in my costumes or act that might go well with my theme.

Thanks all. Nothing like making a silk womb out of a sow's ear.

Hey, Nat- welcome back! I stayed on the sidelines of the Borg2 thing. Maybe because I'm so burned out from following the presidential election and just wanted to play with something shiney on my desk for a while.

I have a neuroses about painting creatively. Likely something from my childhood. I'll consult with Dr. Duke.
Anyway, my five year old and I were making pictures with colored paints and I found myself really enjoying it. "Daddy, look at mine!" she repeated every thirty seconds. I just mumbled as I was getting sucked in to my own thing. Whenever I paint or try to draw I feel like somebody is looking over my shoulder, judging my work and my worth. I'm not like that with artistic mechanical construction becuase nobody could figure out what I was trying to do with my childhood erector set anyway.

It occurs to me that no matter what I name it, people will still call our mutant vehicle a "time machine". So I may just surrender to that and enhance people's experience of it that way. Last year, the three cars in the train represented the future, present, and past. I see an opportunity this year to assign them, starting with the tractor as "The Conscious, The Subconscious, And the Unconscious, as the theme suggests. Your thoughts?

There is only one Captain on the eplaya, but I can't say his name. He's known for his art boat and the best margaritas on the playa.

"People get so hung up on specifics, they miss out on seeing the whole thing. Take South America for example. Every year in South America thousands of people turn up missing. Nobody knows where they go. They just disappear. But if you think for a minute, realize something, there had to be a time when there was no people right? Well where did all these people come from? I'll tell you where, the future. Where did all these people disappear to, the past. How did they get there? Flying saucers, which are really, yeah you got it, time machines."

Well obviously time machines are flying saucers. But do we travel throught time consiously, subconciously or unconciously? The concious train could have a bar, the subconcuious train could have toys or a pool table and the unconcious train could have beds and black lights. Just a thought for a question on how time travel on the playa could be answered with the loose theme you were given.

I'd also recomend that if anyone on that train wants to join sides with the BORG2, they should be armed with water guns in the concious train. I was nominated the BORG2 Disinformation Dissemination/ Disorientation Coordinator. It is my duty to inform everyone about The Armed Resistance against the Golf Cart Armada. Sorry Mr. Jellyfish. I don't mean to use your thread to promote our little war, but I thought you all should know. If you are at least sympathetic with our cause to uphold the values of anarchy (or radical democracy), can I use the time machine as a cover to move the troops into position? You don't have to confess your loyality to the cause here, you can find The Resistance at http://borg2.tribe.net/

But if you decide to come please pick a side. I'm not fighting anymore. No more emotional blood shead for me. Either help The Resistance by telling us what ideas you have for a water gun war with golf carts. Or tell us what you plan to do to help the golf carts. That information would be helpful too.

Natalie's just having fun now. Everyone relax. It's going to be OK. It would be in the best intrest of BMorg for someone to give me some prozac or xanex or Kool-aid.

Long live the time machine!

Hey Nat. Good stuff there. I guess our conscious mind is a spotlight and the subconscoius a flood light. Do you think we were created by aliens so they could use us as human time machines for their own R&R? Maybe they just come here to slow down for a weekend because their preception of time screams by faster than ours. Maybe the anal probes are how they jack in and chill out? So it goes...

Tonight I will sleep for eight hours. If it is a restful night or a long night depends on how I set my human time machine, I suppose.

I just got the new Dust Devil video and watched a week in one hour or so.

Hell, I'm just tired and rambling. All I know is I want to do something with it where more people will get it at first sight. Something simple and pure, with no 'splaining from the pilot. I love this time when I can just conceptualize and all I have to lift is a pencil.

Robotland... was that from Repoman? I love that shit!

Dr Feltersnatch · Post by **Dr Feltersnatch** » Wed Dec 15, 2004 10:36 am

I think we're more a alien petri dish culture. An experiment to see what happens with evolution.

Anyone read Ancient Secrets of the Flower of Life, there's some serious jibber jabber in that book but alot of it is pretty hard to question. The possiblity of us being dropped off here from outer space, the half man, half fish (dolphins) to see what happens.

Right now I think they are laughing and intrigued at the same time. "Wow, look at all the cool shit they create, and then destroy the majority of it because of their ignorance and greed."

But if all that is true then I gotta agree with my boy Bill.

"I was down in Alabama, and I was playing a town called Fife, Alabama last year. And they wanted me there to host their annual Rickets telethon, or something, I don't know what the fuck it was, but anyway. It was great to be there and anyway this is absolutely true-last year in Fife, Alabama, they had all these UFO sightings. And apparently everyone in town saw these UFOs, all right? Which really pissed me off, because when I was there, about forty people saw me. But, there was no advance advertising, no publicity, that's a big market for me. Anyway, I'm curious about UFOs, so I asked this guy who was there what it was like. And the guy said, "Oh, man, it was incredible! People came from miles around to look at them! A lot of people came armed." People are bringing shotguns to UFO sightings. Kind of brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, "You ain't from around here, are you, boy?" I said to the guy, "Why do you all bring shotguns to UFO sightings? It seems to be there's going to be a point in our development or evolution when you put your guns aside." You know what I mean? Don't you think that should happen, I mean just fucking once? The guy said, "Well, we didn't want to be abducted." I'm thinking, Yeah, and leave all this. Dude, if I lived in Fife, Alabama, I'd be on my hands and knees praying for an abduction every goddamn morning, all right. And believe me, I would not be picky. Greyhound-abduct me. But I said, "What do you mean, abducted?" And he said, "Well, they abduct people and they perform scientific and medical experiments on 'em." "Well, maybe we'll be lucky and it's some kind of sterility/dentistry program they've got going. Maybe they come down here, castrate you, straighten your teeth and split. Sort of a 'clean up the universe' pact." He said, "Huh?" I was almost sure I was talking to that dude.

I'll tell you, too, that's starting to depress me about UFO's, about the fact that they cross galaxies or wherever they come from to visit us and always end up in places like Fife, Alabama. Maybe these are not super-intelligent beings, man. Maybe they're like hillbilly aliens. Some intergalactic Joade family or something. "Don't you all want to land in New York, or L.A.?" "Nah, we just had a long trip, we gonna kick back and whittle some." Oh, my God, they're idiots. "We're gonna enter our mothership in the tractor pull!" My God, we're being invaded by rednecks. My biggest fear. Last thing I want to see is a flying saucer up on blocks in front of some trailer, you know? Wouldn't that be depressing? Some bumper sticker on it - "They'll get my ray gun when they pry my cold, dead, eighteen-fingered hand off of it!"

Well, Deliverance might not be such a bad metaphor for bunringman. It's all about the psyche, really. Picture Burt Reynolds in goth b&w camo, crumpled on the ground in a K-hole.
