--Genesis P-Orridge, on Brion Gysin

FLicKeR will be the closing night gala for the Rendezvous With Madness Film Festival on Saturday, 15 November, 7pm, Toronto.

There can be go greater confluence than a rendezvous with madness and Brion Gysin.

The dream machine looks simple enough: A 100-watt light bulb, a motor, and a rotating cylinder with cutouts. Just sit in front of it, close your eyes, and wait for the visions to come.

This graying hippie makes the nightly, winding climb 18 feet to her cozy bedroom. She wakes to roosters' crows and the scents of dewy soil. Over breakfast, her view is a jungle of towering trees, no hint of hustle and bustle.

Shawnee Chasser lives in a treehouse above a secret garden in the middle of Miami. For 15 years, she has lived atop the 1.5-acre nirvana of green trees and farm animals behind a row of houses 10 minutes from downtown. And she advertises on Craigslist and rents out rooms for $380 a month. Really. link

Psychic TV's Genesis P-Orridge

"I've had all my teeth replaced with solid gold replicas of the originals," he says, "beauty spots tattooed on my face, silicone injections in my lips, cheek implants, laser hair removal, breast implants ..."

P-Orridge, once on the receiving end of a "This man corrupts kids" tabloid headline, is no longer a man but a self-styled "pandrogyne". "Or a hermaphrodite by choice, if you like," he says. Gone are the Charlie Manson T-shirts and military fatigues. Now, he favours a blond, Bette Davis bob and lingerie.

A new album, Hell Is Invisible ... Heaven Is Her/e, is out on Kill Rock Stars in January, 2007.

I like that he's still evolving, to be the best he can be.
