The Society for the Advancement of Inflammatory Consciousness presented their fifth workshop, "Empy-ness".

"S.A.I.C. is a society open to anyone interested in cosmic erotic ecstasy, ritualistic performance, divine androgyny, experimental snacks and group hugs." from SAIC website

"Over the past seven months, SAIC conducted a series of workshops for roughly 10-15 of its members. Each workshop featured activities adapted from a variety of sources, including addiction recovery programs, role-playing subcultures, improvisational troupes, reality television competitions, team development exercises, new age theory, pagan rituals, and pop psychology texts. Taking as their framework M. Scott Peck's four stages of community building (described in his book "The Different Drum"), SAIC members progressed through the stages of pseudo-community, chaos, emptiness, and true community. The goal was the establishment of group mind, the systematic dismantling of the ego, and the erasure/death of the individual." from Momenta Art
