The battle for the mind of North America will be fought in the video arena: the Videodrome. The television screen is the retina of the mind's eye. Therefore, the television screen is part of the physical structure of the brain. Therefore, whatever appears on the television screen emerges as raw experience for those who watch it. Therefore, television is reality and reality is less than television.
Your reality is already half video hallucination. If you're not careful, it will become total hallucination. You'll have to learn to live in a very strange new world. I had a brain tumor and I had visions. I believed the visions caused the tumor and not the reverse. I could feel the visions coalesce and become flesh. Uncontrollable flesh. But when they removed the tumor it was called Videodrome. I was the - I - I was Videodrome's first victim.
The tone of the hallucinations is determined by the tone of the tape's imagery.
But the Videodrome signal, the one that does the damage...it can be delivered under a test pattern, anything.
The signal induces a brain tumor in the viewer. It’s the tumor that creates the hallucinations.
I believe that the growth in my head - this head, this one right here - I think that it is not really a tumor, not an uncontrolled, undirected little bubbling pot of flesh...but that it is in fact...a new organ...a new part of the brain. I think that massive doses of Videodrome signal...will ultimately create a new outgrowth...of the human brain...which will produce and control hallucination...to the point that it will change human reality. After all, there is nothing real...outside our perception of reality...is there?
