Peckinpah-vision

It is important that the flow of food in the world be unabashed. To replicate the pureness of the unobstructed food flow concept, the following prototype is constructed and demonstrated in abstract form.

A ten by ten foot frame is constructed of 2 X 4s. Thousands of thinwall 3" long stainless steel cylinders are soldered into an effective Zenith television 'grating' inside this frame. Another air-tight frame is behind this with plastic wire mesh on one large side and a sealable top lid. Another frame with two large rubber diaphragm sheets is attached behind this. A large wooden box with a lid that slides to the bottom is constructed behind this. It has a large air vent at the bottom that allows a calculated blast of air to enter the diaphragm when a pre-determined weight falls onto the collapsable lid.

Numerous ripe soft fruits are selected, washed, peeled and sliced into two inch wide segments. Crushed grapes are a traditional favourite. These segments are stacked airtight between the rear of the cylinder wall and the plastic wire mesh. At expulsion time a two gallon pail of thick fruit juice is also poured into the chamber to stop air leaks.

Facing the Peckinpah-vision wall are super-slow motion video cameras and three walls of indirect lighting. Restaurant tables, chairs and nude dairy-whipped participants complete the scene. Zarathustra fills the air with expectation. You hear the roar before you see it...

FRUISHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While the tape rewinds, a screen is pulled down over the expulsion wall and the indirect lighting is reduced. The participants can now watch the kinetic event in slow motion for the next half hour from video tape mixing.
