I. Title
a. Flown Away with the Pink Elefant
II. Abstract
a. I am trapped between many dimensions, my being spread out over a multiplicity of existences. Each one a dream of the next. I traveler, poet, philosopher, player; no simple empiricist science can bind and explain my perspective; pulled from the past and placed into present. Each space, each place, each dimension, imbued with meaning, shadows and symbols of a string of being; interwoven into a fabric of what was will be. This is a journey, through mind, spirit, space and time; come let us play and create the story that is experience.

Consciousness is the only reality. Every conceivable energy state exists. If a universe can be imagined, it exists.

Conscious reality exists as a series of relative experiences; displayed sentient for one to behold. As ones being moves through the forth dimension it displays the characteristics of a string, a point displaced over time. What one can quantify empirically are fragments of data gleaned from the localization of totality. Ones life can be summed up as a series of multidimensional experiences interwoven over time. Thus the story of one’s life maybe: I was at 1, and I saw 1F, I then acted, and it brought me to 2B, as so on.
My thesis will follow this model.

1.
The Fourth Dimension; Rudy Rucker; Houghton Mifflin, 1985

Absolutley mind blowing; Dr. Diane Voss, my former professor, had me read this for a class I took on "time". It helped me form for much of my current understanding of realitys' structure.

2.
Flat Land; Edwin Abbot; Dover Publications, 1880
This book helped reinforce Plato's "Allegory of a Cave", helping me to understand my condition.

3.
The Mission of Art; Alex Grey; Shambala Press, 2001
Great art and writing?!? Yep. Alex really helped me to understand my purpose, a blessing and a curse, as an artist in this world.

4.
Concerning the Spiritual in Art; Wassily Kandinsky, 1911
I love Wassily. He tried to speak in a language few have the eyes to see.

I rode the 4.6 miles from my place over the Fashion District this after. My goal was to find affordable fabric for our 542 Kiosk project. As I expected I found a store in no time. I managed to pick up two great pieces of fabric for projection testing; one Lycra and the other Cotton; each measuring 60”x144” and costing $2.50 per yard. This evening we need to project on them to see how they appear. We then need to make a few decisions about the screens, so that this week I can print and tailor them.

I've completed V1.1; check out the PDF @ThisLink
