Our first release is a re-release from **counts on fingers**... sixteen years ago! Coming soon is a freshly annotated version that fills in some of the gaps between then and now - a kind of "director's cut" if you like. But since there are now adults around who were in kindergarten at the time, we thought we'd start at the very beginning.

BOOK of HOURS is a free 236-page PDF intended to be viewed in 2-page format on a handheld digital device. Taking the idea of the medieval prayer book into the virtual age, it provides light but also underscores our vast separation from the natural and spiritual worlds.

Here is a reality ~ 𝕃𝕠𝕠𝕓𝕥𝕠𝕡𝕚𝕒. This is the film. Sillyfunsilly visuals, cynicism, narcissism, avatars and music. (We are camouflaging Loobi's aching emptiness, as she endlessly searches for a sense of 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦/𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚/𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞.) Loobtopia is fickle, noncommittal and vapid. IT IS SUCH FUN.
