Different stages in the event Son et Lumière for Bodily Fluids
and Functions, first performed by Mark Boyle's Sensual Laboratory at
the Jeanetta Cochrane Theatre in January 1967. 'An event in which we
extracted all the available fluids from ourselves on the stage, and
projected them onto ourselves and the screen to the
accompaniment of the amplified sound of our bodies' (Mark Boyle).
The performers were Mark and Joan Boyle.

Antennae of this multicellular organism humanity
probe the environment not so much artists as feelers
not so much transmitters as receivers communication
irrelevant though inevitable the Institute of Contemp-
orary Archaelogy the Sensual Laboratory and the
Random Samples we take of our environment are
devices to expand our ability to absorb becoming
increasingly necessary until if we've the capacity we
become only sensitive beings totally permanently open
to everything without the filtering of psychological
shock barriers or the distortions of intelligence or drugs
discovering just how much reality human kind can
dare—Mark Boyle—Nice July 14th-5:52 p.m.
