Basic Info| Location: | Portland, Oregon, United States |
|---|---|
| Website: | The Fiction of Douglas Lain |
BioDouglas Lain recognizes that he is a member of the entertained public -- a public that Guy Debord described in his 1978 film In Girum Imus Nocte et Consumimur Igni as "dying in droves on the freeways, and in each flu epidemic and each heat wave, and with each mistake of those who adulterate their food, and each technical innovation profitable to the numerous entrepreneurs for whose environmental developments they serve as guinea pigs."
Last week Lain drank six Starbuck's coffees and daydreamed about revolution 12.5 times. Douglas Lain lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife, daughter, and three sons. Check out his website: http://www.douglaslain.com
