The Fourth Monkey

A technological mystery based on Marshall McLuhan and others.

The Fourth Monkey is a dark grotesque story about a failed fortune telling, time travelling and rituals stored in cellular memory. Technological extensions of a body, consciousness and transformation in the world of radionic experimenters playing a spooky soundtrack on devices without components. The fourth Shizaru monkey is the last of the three wise monkeys often depicted in the Buddhist tradition. Each monkey has its eyes, ears or mouth covered. Shizaru symbolizes the principle of "do no evil" but is missing in most of the paintings or sculptures.
