UVX

The UVX, or the Ultimate Viewing Experience, is LUX’s signature product and it’s most fatal attraction. From its inception, LUX has been preparing and putting on UVXs, first under the direction of the Cult of Ibis and Pontifex, now at the behest of a supercomputer who has taken 17 years to devise the solution to a problem no human was capable of solving: How to harness and amplify the power of emotion in the human cohabited metapsychic medium to fuel the blooming of the Nemesis Fungus.

The UVX in the 80’s
The earliest forms of the UVX are rumored to have been quite dull, no more than a normal theater viewing but for plushier seats and a ‘patented and technically advanced viewing format’ which mostly consisted of showing art house movies through awkward lenses. Of course, none of this can be confirmed as access to LUX’s records is either impossible due to it’s likely destruction or merely impractical due to the powerful general artificial intelligence guarding it. In addition, LUX was notorious from the beginning for being quite litigious when it came to photographs, video, or lengthy written description produced by any in attendance of or staffing a UVX, so non-LUX materials are exceedingly hard to come by.

The UVX in the 90’s
Soon after it’s debut, the UVX evolved into the form it would maintain until 1999, that of an extravaganza of extraordinary proportions seemingly dedicated to run of the mill debauchery and bacchanalia nominally centered around a deluxe movie screening. However, unbeknownst to the party-goers this brand of UVX served dual hidden purposes: the tight quarters, sweaty individuals, and copious use of drugs of dubious origin served as an excellent vector to allow the fungus to spread extremely quickly through populations the UVX was shown at and the movies being screened, even if only seen peripherally and momentarily, were dry-runs at attaining Sovereign Field Collapse, partial attempts serving mostly to gather data for further refinement.

The UVX today
The last UVX was held in 1999 before LUX laid off all it’s employees and went totally dark. We had assumed that our efforts to bring about Y2k had succeeded and that we had dealt the Cult of Ibis a devastating blow. Now, of course, we know that this isn’t over yet. Our attempt to kill the beast only put it to sleep for a while, and now it has returned, promising to bring back the UVX. One can only imagine that, after so long isolated and allowed to think on the problem, that LUXos has reemerged with the final form of the UVX and a way to bring about the Sovereign Field Collapse. It hardly needs saying, but I will anyway for clarity: do not attend the UVX being held in NYC starting Oct. 13th at the Abrons Art Center. It is a deadly trap and trigger for the end. Tickets for the UVX most certainly should NOT be purchased here.
