We have to change the world. That’s what we think. Change society. Change life. Do it for freedom. Get us out of this prison. We know one thing: this change is possible. All that remains is to figure out how to do it.

Editor’s note: In 2006 R.I.C.E. was invited to take part in discussions about possible strategies for developing inter-disciplinary art projects that intersect with the public in vital and intimate ways. Steve Valk works in part by developing ‘thought tapestries’ that manifest physically as small handmade books. They work on an associative level, like a dream, to open the reader’s perceptions to a new understanding of reality. At the time, R.I.C.E. was preoccupied with the relationship between perception, imagination, and the observer participation in the construction of reality.
