Synopsis: Sometime in the future, the Canadian Academy for Erotic Inquiry is investigating the theories of parapsychologist Luther Stringfellow. Seven young adults volunteer to submit to a form of brain surgery that removes their power of speech but increases their power for telepathic communication. An unseen group of students observes the results. As the experiment progresses, Stringfellow's theories come to fruition. Later, aphrodisiacs and various other drugs are introduced to the subjects to expose an inherent polymorphous perversity. In the end, they are isolated from each other, provoking antagonism and violence between them, which results in two suicides.

any experiment in parapsychology

are inextricably mixed with the individuals

and the phenomological sets involved

in that particular experiment

and cannot be abstracted

from those individuals

or phenomological sets.

The conditions of experiments

in parapsychology are unique,

non-uniform and non-repeatable.

A completely non-scientific burden

is therefore place upon the researcher

for if the peronal relationship between

researcher and subject deteriorates

the experiment cannot continue

along its natural course.

The sensitivity of the experimental

parapsychological plexus

demands new methods

to help maintain the emotional

momentum in certain experiments.

Proving notice

that the motto of the Canadian

Academy for Erotic Inquiry

has immediate relevance for the Stringfellow induced telepathy series.

"Amor vincit omnia."

Or:
"Love conquers all."

We understand that the unique way

in which an individual perceives

and reacts to his environment

is a funstion of his own

experiential space continuum.

When object events enter the experiential

space continuum of that individual

they become an integral

organic part of that space.

They are actually changed,

qualitatively modified

in accordance with the

creative nature of that space.

But we are now dealing with telepathists.

In theory

the experiential space continua of

two or more telepathists can merge,

can blend together to an extent far beyond

the range of normal human experience.

What would be the organic nature

of communal experiential space

shared among eight psychosomatic entities?

Would one person, one mode

of perception and reaction,

one experiential space continuum

dominate this oversoul?

Or, would each mind participate

in the synthesis of a uniform

newly created emergent space,

unlike any of its constituents?

How would the physical and social functioning

of members of this group be altered?

Or, could they function in

recognisable modes at all?

There is some evidence to suggest

the potential telepathic intensity

varies indirectly as the square of the

distance between two telepathists.

An increase in physical distance may

therefore be used by one telepathist

as an effective defence against telepathic

intrusion on the part of another telepathist.

A far more sophisticated

intrusion avoidance device

known as schizophonetic partition

was evolved by one of the female subjects

during the group isolation sanitorium phase.

In order to subvert attempts

by fellow subjects to establish

potentially intrusive telepathic rapport

she completely separated her

telepathic, non-verbal self

from her oral verbal self.

The telepathic self functioned

David Cronenberg

David Paul Cronenberg, CC OOnt FRSC (born March 15, 1943) is a Canadian filmmaker, actor and author. Cronenberg is one of the principal originators of what is commonly known as the body horror or visceral horror genre. This style of filmmaking explores people's fears of bodily transformation and infection. In his films, the psychological is typically intertwined with the physical. In the first half of his career, he explored these themes mostly through horror and science fiction, although his work has since expanded beyond these genres. His films have won numerous awards, including the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for his film Crash (1996). more…
