About This Event
The 2010 Ambiotica is produced by Michael Gosney and
Joegh Bullock, with co-conspirators Anon Salon, Earthdance Network,
Cyberset Music and Media and Synergetic Press.
Launched by Joegh Bullock and Michael Gosney
in 2006, AMBIOTICA is an ongoing experiment in social flirtation
and cultural stimulation: our post-modern version of the influential
salons and private clubs of the past. Word of mouth and limited
email invitations are attracting this creatively cultivated eclectic
mix. Ambiotica is an integral evening, designed to serve our shared
aspirations for a thriving culture, to focus and amplify the positive
intentions and actions that our community embodies. Participation
in this environment of conversation, performances, interactive
art, exhibits and film - fueled by inventive musical grooves and
exotic elixirs - calls for elegant, expressive dress and an intention
beyond the obvious FUN we conspire together.
The seed for this edition of Ambiotica was
planted on December 15, 2009 at at City Lights Books in San Francisco
with the Birth of a Psychedelic Culture event picasaweb.google.com/Tangola123/SanFranCityLightsChicago2009
