The Longmont Colorado gas station that Jack Kerouac wrote about in "On the Road" was moved twice to protect it from certain destruction.

"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.

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
