Latvian-born Sven Lukin, 34, also distorts perspective to reflect the pressures of Manhattan life.

A similar effect on a rat's shinnying skills is also caused by derivates of 3,4, dimethoxyphenethylamine (DMPEA), more simply known as "the pink spot" because of its color in paper chromatography tests designed to detect it. DMPEA has been found in the urine of several thousand severely ill schizophrenics. It was isolated six years ago by Psychiatrist Arnold Friedhoff and Biochemist Elnora Van Winkle of the New York University School of Medicine...
