It is a collaboration of Vision Mongers, Environ Mentalists and Entertainers of Ideas, devoted to tuning up reality to the level of art. Their work includes stage shows, environments, dramatised lectures, street theatre, exhibition events, performance art, infiltrations (of social gatherings), encounter and video workshops, and printed publications, including broadsheets, pamphlets, and this, their first book.'
