Sorry, don't want to give the wrong impression, I forgot to mention I was paraphrasing from my cat. And my cat has doubts about this actually, he considers that his memories from sixteen years ago of tripping have probably been tainted by all sorts of things like dreams and things and memories so it's all tangled up in a straight-kind-of-straight way and it's all just mere (probably incorrect) association, bungled up, "blah blah blah". But personally I thought what my cat had to say was interesting about this. And now I've shown inthepit.mp4 to my cat, he thinks it does not look like an acid trip - or the closest it comes is like a bad acid trip where most of the trip is [not visual but] negative cyclical thinking in his little feline brain. >james > >On 29/7/2008, "Alan Sondheim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> >> >> >>Trails >> >> >>I can see if someone has come into the exhibition space in Second Life; >>they leave a trail behind them, objects and spews that slowly disappear - >>in the meantime, the space is oddly denuded. >> >>I want to explain why the space looks like an acid trip, why it's so >>crowded, so preposterous.
