A recreated version of the massive stage mechanism from the early '90s performance pH, which transposed the 13-level acid/alkaline chemistry scale into 13 "phases" — question/answer, image/word, fact/fiction, extension/compression, public/private, real/ideal, offense/defense, exertion/relaxation, production/reproduction, male/female, external/internal, and lastly a recursive start/over/restart. Where the original version had two computer-driven crossbeams that forced the performers to drive or jump out of the way, here one lone LED crossbeam sweeps back and forth illuminating an empty performance floor like a scanner in a giant photocopier.
