The adventures of Tim & Puma Mimi & Tim Leary’s entrance into the multiuser sarcophagus

Tim Leary would have loved this!! Presented by etoy and Tim & Puma Mimi. Gone from one dimension transmuted to another.

etoy’s MISSION ETERNITY SARCOPHAGUS (a white cargo container at the entrance to ARCO pavilion 14) is where the art group etoy calls and reactivates a dead pioneer of the information age: Timothy Leary. He is the first MISSION ETERNITY TEST PILOT to enter the multiuser sarcophagus, and again the pioneer: other pilots will follow him.

In Madrid, 8g of Leary’s mortal remains will be integrated into his updated TERMINUS. This plug-shaped capsule stores the ashes of the MISSION ETERNITY PILOT after cremation and links it to digital remains such as personal data, voice samples, images, a post-mortem activity plan and more.

The ceremony held 16.02.2008 was public and accompanied by 4 etoy.AGENTS and a live act by TIM & PUMA MIMI from Zurich. http://www.myspace.com/timandpumamimi
