2. Joe Dollof, a survivor of the psychedelic era, is likely to be regarded as a madman with a magic wand today. He is interested in alchemy, tarot cards, Zen and shamanism. He has written books, made vinyl records, played drama, played performance art, made movies and cartoons, and is a real "interdisciplinary" artist. This ideological confusion must be viewed in the context of the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. If we regard the anti-cultural movement in the United States at that time as a volcanic eruption, then the magma and gravel that erupted from it slowly and continuously spread all over the world in the following decades.

Since 1960s, American musicians have traveled to India, Indonesia and Japan to study Buddhist scriptures. The whole earth catalogue appeared, treating art, technology and science indiscriminately. Then we experienced the personal computer revolution, Internet revolution, globalization and the complete disintegration of various old orders. In Joe Dollof's era, absorbing knowledge from different disciplines and fields was a means to expand the brain. More than forty years after Stuart Brand shouted the slogan of "getting tools", we are already in a society where tools are rampant. With the proliferation of tools, instrumental rationality has dominated the society again.

For Joe Dollof, nothing is more important than surpassing all technologies and departments with human spiritual strength. As he commented on the famous film special effects artist Douglas Trumbull: "He is a master of technology, but to me, he is not a spiritual person." This is probably the biggest inspiration that Joe Dollof can give us today.
