That is a hilarious comment. For $20, doesn't sound worth the risk. Thanks.

I saw this show at the premier at the Lincoln Center and it was amazing. You have to come with an open mind, but Spooky?s ability to manipulate the images in real-time while maintaining a cohesive narrative is impressive. This work is not for everyone, but if enjoy Spooky's philosophical style and commentary; you should enjoy his Rebirth of a Nation.

i've seen him do this twice as a "work in progress" (once @ mass moca, once at the middle east) and it was *awful*. buyers beware.
