Hard at work on some mad-scientist-type project in the 1994 AMD chip-fab clean room\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We\u2019re closing in on the conclusion of my Kickstarter project, Transreal Trilogy + All the Visions<\/a>! Campaign ends on Friday.<\/p>\n

Please think about helping me do this thing! It\u2019s not much different from ordering an ebook or a paperback in advance.<\/p>\n

As an added-on stretch goal, I\u2019m going digitize some of the old videos from my basement cupboard archives, many of these coming from the time periods when I was writing my transreal SF novels The Secret of Life<\/em>, White Light, Saucer Wisdom,<\/em> and when I was writing my beat scroll memoir All the Visions<\/em>. The idea is to make a nice rich media page to accompany the launch of the Transreal Trilogy + All the Visions<\/em> project.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One old video I\u2019m particularly eager to revive shows me at an international high-academic psychiatric convention, reading the All the Visions <\/em> account of a hedonistic 1979 Manhattan day when the famous cinematographer Eddie Marritz and I wandered high in the city, the reading including honks from a squeeze-bulb bicycle horn I brought along. The reading filmed by one and the same E. Marritz using state of the art equipment, a SONY helical scan jobbie. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another tape I want to get out there shows a series of public access TV shows I made in Lynchburg, Virginia, in 1985. One time our dog Arf came on camera with me. The series was called Brain Food<\/em>, and featured my diffuse reviews of books, authors and artists I happened to be thinking about\u2014including Anselm Hollo, William Burroughs, Charles Bukowski, Ansel Adams, Andy Warhol, Edgar Allen Poe, Steven Levy\u2019s Hackers <\/em>and Thomas Bass\u2019s The Eudaemonic Pie<\/em>, Margaret Atwood, and J. G. Ballard. \u201cThat was damn good,\u201d\u009d one local guy told me in the weeks to come. \u201cMade me laugh. Not like the regular stuff on TV.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And I\u2019d like to post my educational live-computer-demo videos on Chaos <\/em>and on Cellular Automata<\/em>. And the evening when Rudy Jr. and I performed our collaborative story, \u201cJenna and Me\u201d\u009d in San Francisco. And the stage performance of my 3D-Mandelbrot-set play, As Above So Below<\/em>, in Fort Worth, Texas. And a 1983 video of me reading from Master of Space and Time <\/em>in Sweetbriar College, near our home in Lynchburg, Virginia. All kinds of footage in the archive, and with a few extra bucks from the Kickstarter, I\u2019ll finally get some of this stuff digitized and online for the historic record.<\/p>\n

So kick in something for the final stretch of the Transreal Trilogy + All the Visions<\/a> campaign and help me make it happen.<\/p>\n
