sex films, films of other festivals, and this material is cut in with live
TV broadcasts and shots of the crowd. Of course, the rock festival will be
cut in on the screens, thousands of fans portable recorders recording, and
playing back, the singer could direct play back und record. Set up an area
for travelling performers, jugglers, animal acts, snake charmers, singers,
musicians, and cut these acts in. Film and tape from the festival, edited for
best material, could then be used at other festivals.

Quite a lot of equipment and engineering to set it up. the festival could
certainly be enhanced if as many festival goers as possible bring portable
tape recorders and play back at the festival.

Any message, music, conversation you want to pass around, bring
it pre-recorded on tape so everybody takes a piece of your tape home.












Research project: to find out to what extent scrambled messages are
unscrambled, that is scanned out by experimental subjects. The simplest
experiments consists in playing back a scrambled message to subject. Message
could contain simple commands. Does the scrambled message have any command
value comparable to post-hypnotic suggestion? Is the actual content of the
message received? What drugs, if any, increase ability to unscramble
messages? Do subjects vary widely in this ability? Are scrambled
messages in the subject's own voice more effective than messages in other
voices? Are messages scrambled in certain voices more easily unscrambled by
specific subjects? Is the message more potent with both word and image
scramble on video tape? Now to use, for example, a video tape message with a
unified emotional content. Let us say the message is fear. For this we take
all the past fear shots of the subject we can collect or evoke. We cut these
in with fear words and pictures, and threats, etc. This is all acted out and
would be upsetting in any case. Now let's try it scrambled and see if we can
get an even stronger effect. The subject's blood pressure, rate of heart
beat, and brain waves are recorded as we play back the scrambled tape.

His face is photographed and visible to him on video screen at all times.
the actual scrambling of the tape can be done in two ways. It can be a
completely random operation like pulling pieces out of a hat and if this is
done several consecutive units may occur together yielding an identifiable
picture of intelligible word. Both methods of course can be used at varying
intervals. Blood pressure, heart beat, and brainwave recordings will show the
