We summerized the lectures held in 1991-92. in the Spectrum-exhibition,which included the works of twenty-one, mainly student, participants.

The theme of the lectures was the spectrum, starting from the colour spectrum, through the object, meaning, political, musical etc. -spectra to the state of consciousness spectrum, always emphasizing the ultra-, infra- and the in-between-states. This sort of modelling provided the possibility to pick the idea of "intermedia" out of the spectrum of the intermedia-definitions and to direct the attention to the "non-manifested", "nameless", "conceivable" and "realizable". The notion of the medium is now placed on a larger spectrum of which the artistic media and the mass- and telecommunication tools make up only a segment. The intermedial consciousness adopts the whole of the "manifested - non-manifested" vocabulary as a medium and can decide, accept, judge, create, question, praise, destroy, name, forge, change, compare, actualize, refer, deny, analyse, ignore or charm according to the possibilities or impossibilities of the able-spectrum. At the center of the vocabulary-spectrum affected in this manner, stands the individuum, like Noah at the center of the first rainbow, recognizing that this is all projection, emanation, the imagination of hirself, as is hir answer to hir well-polished, archaic question: - "How is it possible that there is something, why not instead nothing?" :*.
