A remix of the 1966 ‘Lettuce Manifesto’ by Fluxus-affiliated artist Al Hansen. Spoken by a computer the text is accompanied by found screen captures of in-game footage of VR, AR, and 360 video, as well as a sound score by Emma Hendrix. The remix adapts Hansen’s ‘Lettuce’ (LET US) to ‘V R’ (WE ARE) shifting from a fight for permission, ‘Let us’, to the agency to enact, ‘We are’.
