Sensory Deprivation Torture Tactics

 

Sensory Deprivation Experiments in Art Culture

-Timothy Leary, 60's psycedlic video, and their many precursors

 

Rave/Breakcore/Free Party Scene/80'S industrial

-The kind of things that might go flash flash on a screen whil you dance dance

and candyflip

-the kind of things 80's industrial bands used to play on screens, before everybody got guitars and started copying Ministry,

to keep people from noticing there was just one guy pushing buttons, while the other danced around and sang

 

The 24 Hour News Cycle

-CNN, US Presidential Election coverage, useless facts and diagrams popping open in other screens and their supporting sponsors' commercials

 

Extreme D.I.Y.

-The extent to which people can create almost every element of an artistic project in their home

-Too poor to ever afford instruments, learning to use free online software, working in Wang Ba with fake id, Wang ba culture
