Few people laughed, few people cried, most people were silent.

Based on a text by William Burroughs in Nova Express: “It was first suggested that we take our own image and examine how it could be made more portable. We found that simple binary coding systems were enough to contain the entire image however they required a large amount of storage space until it was found that the binary information could be written at the molecular level, and our entire image could be contained within a grain of sand. However, it was found that these information molecules were not dead matter but exhibited a capacity for life which is found elsewhere in the form of virus.” If you are interested in screening this work, please contact to: OVNI Archives: llop [a] desorg.org Hamacaonline: info [a] hamacaonline.net
Not Enough Night

The Longmont Colorado gas station that Jack Kerouac wrote about in "On the Road" was moved twice to protect it from certain destruction. Our present day bulldozes the past to make room for quaint condominiums and homes that pretend to be part of an American yesteryear of cottages and town squares. "Not Enough Night" is a swan song for bygone hipsters, who longed for more "life" amid the coming storm of the post-World War II suburbs, shopping malls and the lonely existence of the solitary consumer. This tape commemorates the passing of the fiftieth year since the publication of "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac and “The Americans” by Robert Frank.

In the context of the since 1974 divided island of Cyprus, 'nostalgia' questions the geopolitical meaning of land and the touristic exploitation of the landscape in relation to political propaganda. 'nostalgia' also reflects on the emotionally evoking and provoking qualities of the landscape. How can this physical border between Greek and Turkish Cyprus be a mental border?
