Paper Bullets is taken from a US Army Psychological Operation propaganda comic book of the same name, disseminated during Vietnam with the objective of gaining support for the United States. After reading about PSYOPs I made the connection that Art is a tool of influence, persuasion. The idea of this show is to bombard the audience with enormous amounts of information, visual and auditory, to put them in a state of question and to see how they are being influenced, persuaded, and manipulated all the time by Art. I have put together a group of local talent, close friends of mine, like a squad of soldiers, Jimmy Canales, Louie Chavez, Alejandro Padilla, Christian Rodriguez, and Manuel Salazar, to explore the concept of Psychological Operations. We will specialize in diverse forms of media such as sound, video, hand bills, and other traditional media. The opening night will be a performance art atmosphere of sorts. Not suitable for minors, of the faint of heart.
