In developing ideas, techniques, art practice or anything, the importance of feedback can never be underestimated. It has been my dream for a few years, I think two but it might be three... to be able to generate feedback using an electric guitar and an amplifier. Not having either of these things: or a spare $1000, or the nerve to ask anyone if I could borrow their stuff so I can potentially do irreversible damage to it, or any desire to play the electric guitar or have one in my house...... I have attempted to make some feedback with a new very cheap mixing board, some microphones and some new cables to connect machines I have that have never spoken to each other before.

Zabriskie Point

During the planning of our trip to Death Valley, Dan Bourke screened Zabriskie Point at PICA. This site is on the way Furnace Creek - where we stayed. It is the off-season for visiting this area. Only European couples in matching outfits were there. We went to Zabriskie Point at sunset in an attempt to avoid heat.
