What exactly is "Orgone Research" you
ask? Well, it's one of those ironic hipster references to the
off-the-deep-end work of
Wilhelm Reich.
Orgone Research is just a fanciful name I chose for my personal
website. My website is mostly devoted
to
Bigfoot's dermal ridges, but also includes a number of essays
I've written as well as a page devoted to lamps I've built.
Within the "Screeds and Essays"
section you will find the first article I wrote that I was paid
for, about autoerotic asphyxia for the now defunct Loompanics
catalog.
For those unfamiliar with Reich, an outstanding website about
Reich and the Orgone is found
here.
A fascinating documentary,
Man's Right to Know, is a well produced summary of Reich
from a pro-orgone standpoint. The movie starts out like a TV ad
for Zoloft, but trust me, it gets better. I am by no
means a Reichian, but I've always been fascinated by individuals
who seem to be one part visionary genius and one part total
crackpot. I'm also a big fan of Buckminster Fuller.
Here is a photo of me taken on
December 13, 2008 at a gallery opening:

Please note that in the background a
space alien has cleverly disguised himself as a Styrofoam
mannequin...
