Q: What is THE BONFIRE FOR HUMANITY??????
A: THE BONFIRE FOR HUMANITY is a one-night performance art event centered around a bonfire that uses cash as kindling and whose flames are fueled by the currency donated by Kickstarter backers (minus the cost of postage for shipping the rewards). The act of lighting and tending to the bonfire itself is a performance that will be broadcast live on the web in the style of the New Year's Eve Television Specials in which two hosts (Nightmare City) tend the fire in formal-wear until all the cash is reduced to ashes. Utilizing the conventions of this genere, the broadcast will include cut-aways to performances executed in proximity to the bonfire by Bay Area performance artists Frankie America, Eric Svedas, Jonah Susskind, and Paul Knowles. This crux of this project relies on a launching aKickstarter campaign-- if the funds are not raised through Kickstarter, the project will not move forward. scroll >>>>that a way >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Q: what is NIGHTMARE CITY???
NIGHTMARE CITY IS/WAS/WILL BE an interdisciplinary collaborative project renowned for their video art and installation works such as "Daisies," "Welcome to Art School," and "The Pixie Troll Witch Hour: Into the 3AM Void with CArol Anne & Keturah. According to Nightmare City, We live in the present; which is simply to say we live in a version of the future past. As such, we enact the endtimes, always, forever, in perpetuity. Therefore, we look backwards and forwards simultaneously through all forms of obsolescence—be it outmoded video technologies, passé forms of occultism, the pseudo-science of astrology, or redundant and ineffective political/cultural movements. Inhabiting these forms, we enjoy a cathartic placebo in a world where action is rendered a meaningless or idle gesture through endless repetition.
