Will, Wish, Want or Purpose is a multi-channel installation of experimental films and videos that explore relationships, sexuality, love, and cooperation towards self-realization and actualization. It is a program intended to invoke the spirit of togetherness, rebellion, light, and strength found in nature and through personal mystical attainment. With a series of filmic montages, totemic prophecies, and ambient sounds, viewers are invited to experience an environment of self-reflexive contemplation while in the physical presence of one another. This collective space will, hopefully, motivate participants to consider their physical actions and bodies in relation to other forces of desire, meaning, and the abandonment of personal inhibitions.

Will, Wish, Want or Purpose is also intended to be kind of sexy. It is designed as a safe and inclusive space where people can be free to discover, celebrate, and manifest their own path. There will be a lot of films with explicit sex and nudity and romance. There should be opportunities for people to shed their ego and to reveal the desires of their subconscious mind. There will be places for people to stand, dance, sit, and lay, either by themselves or with a few friends.
