A festive toast to the heroes keeping the system up, alive and perpetually within the zone of creative turbulence required to guarantee its future unhindered and open existence.
Shulgin will perform the WIMP (Windows Interface Manipulation Program) whose effect is to play and deceive a desktop viewer's expectations. Some of WIMP's goals are to stimulate a reflection on the role of software in the modern world and question the ways we deal with omnipresent software, the paradigms of which are stuck in our memory more then anything else coming from the computer world.
