Achieving an altered state of consciousness is one thing. communicating it is another. In Displacement , Ki Wa uses sound, image, and spoken word not to describe such a state but to reproduce it. After several generous helpings of nitrous oxide, a young woman recites a poem whose nonsensical lines, although completely cryptic, contain striking imagery. Communicating an irrational experience irrationally, it is more urgent than it is inchaote, and the overall tone is indebted to Artaud. false eyelashes, heavy reverb, and submarine sonar--don't bogart that Balloon!
