though i do not recommend all of william s. burroughs writings, i do suggest you peruse “the electronic revolution” (currently available as a pdf here and online in parts here: part 1 & part 2) ……something i’ve pondered over myself a few times.
ignoring his obsession with sex, you'll find he describes a quite interesting experiment. basically using the cut-up technique with video/audio/photos to affect other people’s moods & actions. a form of brainwashing perhaps? covert warfare of a sorts? or just plain revenge? maybe some fun too. if his experiments went as he said they did…..well, don’t you wonder what technology is capable of all these decades later? we are affected by every wave that passes through us–electrical, micro, radio, etc–what do each of these & the combination of these waveforms do to our mind-computer & body-machine? hmmmmmmmm? it’s certainly not nothing. just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they’re not there. you do turn on your radio & hear music. you do talk on your cell phone.
