Important notice:

The VISUAL MEETING MINUTES above are typical of Tim Casswell's pioneering method for comprehensive, simultaneous, qualitative recording of live presentations, as first developed for 'The School of Ignorance?'. This is a documentary of the 15 minutes presentation of Heiner Benking as seen and understood by the artist.
