I certainly agree with the idea that advertising is the smoke and mirrors of capitalist consumer culture, all the razamatazz, wonder what Marx would make of the world today. Back projections sound great, must discuss on Thurs what kind of atmospherics we can come up with. Was looking at the Nam June Paik séance and unfortunately there's nothing online showing the actual event just the promotional material, but the idea was that invited video artists would show work channeling him, and they were making the interesting point that these artists were having to get past his considerable energy to make their own work. Also, the event was held on the anniversary of his death - ours is also on a significant date!
Just wanted to post up the link Yvonne emailed,

What to make of it all? I remember coming across an old Theosophy society building in Mumbai (apparently it was Madame Blavatsky's base for a while before moving to Madras), and it is curious the links with the Irish cultural scene, obviously still to this day with our little event.
Here is Madame herself, I hope she approves.
