I think one of the most interesting things about GP-O and the whole psychic
tv thing is how the memes infiltrated mainstream culture - from lots of '23'
references sneaking into mainstream cinema, to a lot of the commonly held
ideas about dance culture. PTV and the temple of psychic youth (the
countercultural youth tribe psychic tv started in the early 80's) seemed to
have a lot to do with popularising and innovating the early acid house
scene, as mentioned in Modulations.
Disinformation has a very cool site at www.disinfo.com which has details on
all the artists they screen, etc.

Okay, that's enlightening ;-)
I remember seeing Genesis P Orridge in the Modutions movie and then
again in a *really* strange programme I sometimes catch by chance on
TV but never know when the next installment is due. It's called
Disinformation and it had an insert about a pretty 'in your face'
performance artist - she had her labial lips sewn shut, etc etc (you
get the general drift...) and Genesis P Orridge was somehow connected
to her events or something... can't remember all the details, but he
certainly is one interesting and unusual human being!
