This is the first in a series of freakishly fun experiments from Reality Sandwich. Their goal is to spread ideas, connect people and reinvigorate life with creativity and spirit. As the seasons change, expect more invitations to participate in reality-changing events.

If we can build it here, we can build it anywhere. So, let's get together, New York, and start dreaming.

Evolving the Network: Politics, Culture, and Consciousness

Miller aka DJ Spooky, musician, writer, and filmmaker; and Daniel Pinchbeck, author and editorial director of Reality Sandwich, will discuss the transfigured landscape of our new networked culture, its potentials and pitfalls. Can virtual tools rescue us from the political and ecological abyss of a post Peak Oil world? Moderated by Reality Sandwich's publisher Ken Jordan.

Akim Funk Buddha's high energy "holistic Hip Hop," beat-boxing, and world-traipsing performance art; Zack Hagan's "The Muramba Sessions," The Orkestra Jangkrik dan Gamelan Listik a Live PA by Zemi17 - the retro future of Space Haus performed with Balinese Trompong and dance insect sounds; ritual by Parashakti and the Gate-Keepers, large-scale inflatable by Anakin Koenig, Harlan Emil Gruber's "The Structure of the Vacuum," Rene Collins' "The Art of Magical Intelligence," "Whale Music" with David Rothenberg, "Light Your Fire" sun salutations and pranayama with Jivamukti instructors Julie Kirkpatrick and Purnima Langen, CC Treadway's "Divine Deity Dancing," Sunny Strasburg's "Alchemical Gender Circle," "Urban Mystic Tarot" readings by Anthony Williams, solar-inspired face-painting, and more.

www.theresonanceproject.org , for the last months, and recommending it to
friends. Haramein has advanced the thesis that the geometrical structure of
the vacuum - the underlying structure of space and time -- is a
three-dimensional fractal, a double star tetrahedron. He believe... read more
