trying to explain to Travis what Mperience is....


What's Mperience? the doctor asks.
ok, so, let's start from the beginning, the doc is a bit slow on the uptake.
it's a web site.
really? I didn't know...
The doc is kidding me, he knew it.
It's a site where you can find connections, interrelations and associations among things.
"Wow!", says the doctor.
When he goes "wow" with that tone of voice I know he's not getting anything at all.
He goes "wow" with that same tone of voice everytime he watches a David Lynch movie!!
It's a site where you can find connections and where you can MAKE your own connections if you wish.
It's a site where you can give vent to your creative side, building connections between.. for example, a book and a movie.
or among a book, a drawing and a movie. or between a movie and a song, or even between a poem and a drawing, or between a novel and a movie.. between two movies, a movie character and a singer, an actor and a politician.. and between a movie character and a real character.
The doctor looks at me twisting his little head. He says nothing. He just stares at me with those little twinkling round eyes that look so much like marbles it makes me wanna hit them and play.
"Right!" he goes.
When he says "right" with that tone of voice I can tell a whole new world just opened up to him... it once happened when I told him that Ridley Scott's the Duellists is based on The Duel by Joseph Conrad... and it happened again when he found out that Captain Sensible was part of the Damned.. and again when he discovered George Eliot was a girl.
