Alice, unhappy with her prim, proper existence in Victorian England, travels through time into an age that allegorically resembles our own. There, she encounters elitist tea-partiers, rapping flowers, and a philosopher cat, before she is consumed by an assaulting music video. Her only hope for understanding this foreign world of spectacle is to somehow find Guy Debord.
"I'm embarrassed by this... and find that it is an insult to Debord and Vaneigem, the latter of whom also granted a portionable amount of physical (not merely theoretical) mobility to the movement, almost on par with that of Debord (who dominated the group). I get what you're trying to do, but it's neither shocking nor subversive, nor well done."
