MISSION:
To return to the origins of the mind/body split and rediscover pain.
To turn this pain into a carnival mask and put it on display.
To create antibodies--agents of resistance and transformation within culture.
To examine the sicknesses produced by civilization and activate an immune response through the use of imagery and symbolic action.
To see all external systems (culture, economy, government, Gaia) as bodies, or macrocosm, and the individual body as microcosm.
To create alchemical rituals using the body as primary material.
