COMPENDIUM N.6 PINK LASER BEAM
by This is a magazine, 2009
“The title of the 6th printed Compendium from This is a magazine refers to science-fiction writer Philip K. Dick’s final novel “Valis” in which the protagonist receives extra-terrestrial transmissions on a beam of pink light of unknown origin:
“God, he told us, had fired a beam of pink light directly at him, at his head, his eyes; Fat had been temporarily blinded and his head had ached for days. It was easy, he said, to describe the beam of pink light; it’s exactly what you get as a phosphene after-image when a flashbulb has gone off in your face. Fat was spiritually haunted by that color. Sometimes it showed up on a TV screen. He lived for that light, that one particular color.” – Valis, Philip K. Dick
Pink Laser Beam appears to defy logic, revealing new associations and hidden meanings as it unfolds in time and space.”
