Discourse on the Method
In 1967, Kyger received a residency at the National Center for Experiments in Television in San Francisco. Drawing on Descartes's "Discourse on the Method", she translated the philosopher's work into a poem-video titled "Descartes and the Splendor of. A Real Drama of Everyday Life. In Six Parts." The video, Kyger's only one, aired in November 1968. During this period, she met Carlos Castaneda and Michael Harner and discussed the illusions of a peyote vision she had in 1959.
