CDR-DV1:AITCM (The Center for Decorporative Research - Demonstration Video 1: April is the Cruelest Month) demonstrates the transfiguration of subjectivity in the context of a staged containment of an unknown chemical disaster — following the five phases of organic toxification:

• Exposure
• Toxicokinesis
• Toxicodynamism
• Toxicogenesis
• Mutagenesis

The symbolic, aesthetic and ethical positions of Facilitator, Technician, Trainee, Victim and Viewer become, through an application of Gestalt logic, parallel entry points to the understanding of the apparatus of forced subjectivity. As the song says, "Can't you see? You belong to me."
