A reflection of the human condition as the ultimate form of neverending sadomasochism.
"In a society of nameless faceless non-individualism we make ourselves numb in order to
compensate for the emotional pain caused by our lack of belonging and inability to be unique.
This compensation often manifests itself by us seeking intense sensations: We intoxicate
ourselves with alcohol and other drugs. We build machines that propel our minds faster and
faster into a infinite nowhere, an endless man made 5th dimension called cyberspace ... And
others turn to self mutilation.
We tattoo ourselves, we pierce, we brand, we amputate and we slice, yet STILL we are not
satisfied. Some of us must inflict intense sensations upon others to feel that we are more
than just an abstract idea."
