Van Carlson who shot this on a very expensive camera, and his family who stored it. We are grateful to Van's son Van Maximilian Carlson. Please check his short film on Van https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJkOtfckpww&t=11s In the beginning, Van & John Cage discuss Joyce's Ulysses: "Ineluctable modality of the visible: at least that if no more, thought through my eyes."

“Fialka brings his distinctive approach. My phone interview with him lasted one hour and eight minutes, and its zigs, zags, and sheer velocity were unmatched in my nearly 20-year journalism career. Was I writing about Finnegans Wake, or was I suddenly inside it?” — Lois Beckett, The Guardian 11–12–23 https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/nov/12/california-venice-book-club-finngeans-wake-28-years

So turn your eyes into ears, and sense-ratio-shift percept-plunder as a way of seeing the paradoxiacal exuberhance of being through archives. In a letter to Joyce, Valery Larbaud famously compared the Wake to a "veritable ship of literature." ...A ship arriving just in time and space to save a drowning what? Both Frank Zappa and James Joyce know that all times are happening now, all-at-onceness. They forgot to die. Can you forget to die?

"James Joyce uses the pun as a way of seeing the paradoxical exuberance of being through language. - Marshall McLuhan

"I think that the two components of the universe are actually one – wave and time. The time determines the shape of – the length of – the wave. If a wave equals a wave, all time equals all other time, so you ain't goin' nowhere, 'cause you already been there." - Frank Zappa.

"Dig Infinity" - Lord Buckley
