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.
The mannequin you see below is
on display at the
Texas Prison Museum.
He serves as my avatar all across the Internet. I've been to
many museums around the world, and the Texas Prison Museum is one of the best.
Highly recommended.
