The Web of Eternity, was a collage board game, based on Akashic portals -- using game cards, playing pieces and throwing dice. Inspired by the work of poet Ira Cohen, in 2002, it became a template for the web-zine, Blastitude #13: The Web of Eternity; (a special issue of Blastitude) with a background vortex of stars and animations developed by web designer Anneke Auer.    

The 13 animated portals each open to different pages; including an interview with Ira Cohen, a Destroy All Monsters scrapbook and articles on Ray Johnson and the number 13, Mike Kelley on UFOs, Byron Coley on Father Yod, Leni Sinclair rock photos, Akira Ifukube's Japanese monster soundtracks, Tosh Berman on his father artist Wallace Berman, Ben Shot on Sun Ra and more...

Theresa Duncan's manifesto and masterwork. 

The History of Glamour

“In the film, the main character is looking for an identity, and glamour becomes for her a potent form of self-expression. She finds it very liberating, because she’s from a small town. But by the end of the story, glamour becomes limiting, then imprisoning, so she becomes a writer, chooses grammar over glamour.”

~ Theresa Duncan on The History of Glamour in Salon

I happen in my work to use words. And perhaps it's all incorrect that these be looked at in terms of painting or creativity or beauty or whatever. --Ray Johnson
