...after founding (and selling) the consulting firm Jupiter Communications, has left the day-to-day operations of Pseudo to produce a show for the Web. It's a knock-off of MTV's The Real World, based on his downtown art friends and his alter ego, a scary, clownlike cult leader named Luvvy. Harris, of course, hopes eventually to get this on prime-time network television. Harris is out of his gourd...
...your best friend planned to join a cult and move to a compound in the desert, you'd try to talk him out of it. Right? You'd probably have no luck. Cult members lose their ability to think rationally--an impediment that usually recedes about the time disaster joins the ranks. Way too late.

And casting Shannen Doherty of Charmed reminds us that there's cooler supernatural programming on several nights a week...
...surround of time. When the project was inaugurated in 1974, its departure from a concurrent mode of conceptual art, the earthworks movement, could not have been more pronounced. Both forms of conceptual work take on the way changing conditions act upon the art object. But whereas earthworks make a cult of entropy and the dissipation of the art object through time, Antonakos's time capsules are instead about the accumulation of the art object's presence...
