Intersection, conglomeration.

On The Exploding Plastic Inevitable as it appears in Marshall McLuhan's "The Medium is the Massage."

The Exploding Plastic Inevitable is a conglomeration / meeting place of different media, a means of getting out of this “blueprint,” of relating different subjects and media to one another.

“Prophets of a new age, of breakthrough on an electronic: intermedia: total scale [...] the only true intermedia group in the country.” -Wayne McGuire

“At the height of its development, the Exploding Plastic Inevitable included three to five film projectors, often showing different reels of the same film simultaneously; a similar number of slide projectors, movable by hand so that their images swept the auditorium; four variable-speed strobe lights; three moving spots with an assortment of colored gels; several pistol lights; a mirror ball hung from the ceiling and another on the floor; as many as three loudspeakers blaring different pop records at once; one or two sets by the Velvet Underground and Nico; and the dancing of Gerard Malanga and Mary Woronov or Ingrid Superstar, complete with props and lights that projected their shadows high onto the wall.” (Art of Projection 71)
