Showroom Production for The Radical Papers: METANOIA.
Backstory. 1994.
Erich Bon Brugal, a 29-year-old Dominican-Swiss physicist, was pursuing his PhD at the prestigious
University of Zurich when he received an anonymous invitation to the Santa Fe Institute. The letter
came through a mysterious subdivision called “Gnostic Visionary Cell.” It spoke of a revolution in
physics—something akin to the rise of jazz in New Orleans, the surrealist prose in Parisian cafés,
or hip-hop in the Bronx. A movement young physicists were calling The Radical Papers, which promised
to outline a Radical Metaphysics.
On December 15, 1994, Bon Brugal arrived at 410 S. Guadalupe Street, Santa Fe, New Mexico, clutching
an essay that had earned him some recognition. He was picked up by an unmarked vehicle and taken to
Los Alamos. No one heard from him again.
