CAROLEE: We go to the theatre in search of inner realities because
of the bankruptcy of the myths and conventions we're used to
dealing with in everyday life.
GENE: Perhaps in the near future, the whole process of living will be
in this active seeking out of experiencesI found this pretty fascinating and I feel that this could be very true in a lot of ways within experimental cinema. Looking at the works of Belson and Brackhage, I feel there could definitely be notions of "therapy." I feel this idea is something that could be applied to all film in some form or fashion, however. I think that we are bankrupt as a culture and I think that most people are onto that whether they're completely conscious of it or not and I feel that in bringing expanded cinema to its greatest heights, we, as artists should expand on these psychoanalysis and political principles and use it as a force to be reckoned with throughout society.
Also a bit off topic but I think these two bands do a pretty wicked job of intermedia musical performance:

The Residents also do a lot of really cool, bizarre performance, projections, intermedia, music, music videos, etc. that folks should check out.
