The Process

Basement. Foundry.
This institute introduces the Voluntary Prisoners to the factory rituals. During this period of adjustment, the fresh arrivals produce the precious metal for the car doors by alchemical process.

Assembly Rooms
Staffed by car crash victims whose function is to generate new forms of social behaviour through the transformation of private into public fantasies. The institute is equipped to stimulate fantasies, that once rehearsed cause a chain reaction by suggesting further elaborations.

Computers
In a soft environment of hypnotic suggestions, various athletic facilities are provided to aid physical voluntary self experimentation. Here Nature, obliterated by the new psycho-technology, returns from its total eclipse as an unstable series of superimposed and simultaneous activities into egalitarian flight, scar tissue and immolation.

Sales
Two towers lean toward each other in omnious attraction. All ideological conflicts generated by the workers' attittudes are finally re-programmed.
The angels select car door models and flight programmes in exchange vor cosmic energy rates fixed by the international Hypostatic Union scale.

Research and Development
An institute of biological emergencies, where all teaching is compressed into a 4 year period, so that university graduates are no older than 11. This is achieved by the inmates from asylums, who as a from of therapy, perform their manias as history lessons.

Conference
The entire institute is solid, although sealed inside, in a descending series of galleries is an accelerated vision of the history of the world's philosophies. In a de-materialised form, the Angels assemble for their car door fittings.

The Ball
A permanent confrontation where the ideal meets the real. The work force, now perfected, are allowed to communicate with the painted angel brides in the cocktail lounges and on the dance floors.

The Perisphere. Take Off.
Using searchlights, the Angels descend or ascend the cone of possibilities to their correct destination, imagining completely synthetic conditions to realise their self-
contained
fantasies.

     

   
Reality You Can Rely On  [ listen ]
In recent times, Pan Transcendental Industries Inc., realising the fundamental problems of twentieth century man, have started to implement our next 25 year plan. Using our extensive resource our programme intends to celebrate a Utopia fabricated by man. To live logically inside fantasy. The responsibilities of a specifically external existence have increased correspondingly. To design a paradise that not only creates the magic arrangement of human outlet but also to define a scenario for the scriptless angels. Today, on earth techno psychic batteries are the key to a scale of synthetic experience representing a free fall in the space of divine imagination. Pan Transcendental Industires represents the border between two states. Our work is revolutionist and evolutionist at the same time. We have created a successful radical alternative reality which is as critical of communism in it's ascendency as capitalism in its decline. Governments of both East and West are being advised by us and in a philantrophic gesture, head of state, military and civic leaders have been placed in a consultancy basis on our industrial board. Despite the adverse publicity by minority unworthies in some segments, we acknowledge the absolute authority over the planet that this power places in our hands.
