ONDINE'S CURSE 11:00 (C)2000
From an era where barriers are constructed of skin, latex, and delusion comes a tale of life
without borders. Ondine's Curse is a narrative of a woman who seeks out pathogens as mentors
of disguised meanings. Ondine challenges the paranoia of contamination by embracing the process
of infestation as a form of dialogue. Virocode.

 "My image synthesis/image processed video work are serial constructions which are produced
with custom built analog and digital processors. Each section is a synthesized real time recording
where sound and image are parallel electronic structures which are mutually controlled by
predetermined waveshapes.The basic compositional elements combine to diagrammatically
describe situations or aspects of the human condition. Flirtation, courtship, penetration, fission
and fusion are some of the processes that are found.M.S.

STELLBAR 23:00 (C)2004
 THROUGH THE DOMAIN of a hyper personal narrative plumbed from vaporous sensations of a
paradisical past--- "That ochre, balmy land where light shimmers endlessly through an amaranthine haze"
---through breaches of subcutaneous horror that rise inarticulate and ghost-like within a disturbing
eloquence of images,sound and text,Stellbar remaims as that indefinite moment of sublimity,  "clothed in
a serene surround of lightless days and soft luminous evenings," where bejeweled and rapturous,to all
things and everything,the end washes back to the beginning.J.B.

INTERVIEW CHUNKS 7:00 (C)1984
 My feeling is the dream is a link to our biologic and spiritual destiny in space,indicating a much lighter
body that in certain circumstances lives without the three dimentional.The astral body is not without
weight or consistency that can be felt.So,they have some mass,but much less mass,so it's certainly a step
in the right direction. W.S.B.
