The Cyber Christ package. Ok, get ready for this one.

A new mythology is needed to guide Humankind through the coming human-tech merging era. In response I have envisioned a performative action to be staged by my group Party Canon (not Party Cannon) in a venue of your choice for a crowd invited by you. The performance will be loosely based on the film Lawnmower Man and center around the relationship between man and technology in regards to human evolution. Performed music will serve as the base, but full sensory onslaught in the form of projected visuals, dancers, optical devices such as lasers and mirrored arrays, props, scented fogs, and edibles (allergen safe) will provide much of the story. Man’s evolutionary merger with machine will be embodied by the vocalist’s interaction with programmed, generative visuals and specifically written software that will interface with the performer’s body via controllers and probes. A sense of “virtual reality” will be created in the overly stimulating environment, and with the aid of binaural beats and subliminal messages, the audience will be further drawn into the experience. The scene produced will convey man’s ascendancy to a god-state through technology. However, like Icarus flying too close to the Sun, our front man will fall and be placed into a coma or death-like state through physical or chemical means, thus making him human again. Upon resuscitation, our Icarus will then be reborn as a new meta-human. With virtual (live video streaming, etc.) and physical contact, CyberChrist will give communion to the new disciples and send them into the world. The denouement of humankind in harmony with tech and nature will be aided by symbolic color field combinations and the use of “clothing optional” zones in the room (for group and audience) with an emphasis placed on non-sexual touching. The totality of the action will transmute the participants into memetic carriers of a new mythology for the Millennial generation and beyond. OH YEAH, you also get the Executive Producer credit and probably whatever else you want.
