James C. Burda surrendered his Ohio Chiropractic license this past September after he was investigated for offering to treat his patients via telepathy for $60 per hour. He claimed that he had the ability to go back in time to realign damaged bones and joints using his techniques of telekinetic vibration, which he called “bahlaqeem vina” and “bahlaqeem jaqem.”

He’d admitted when questioned by investigators that these were nonsense words that came to him one day while he was driving around. An exam ordered by chiropractic regulators found that he had “delusional disorder, grandiose type.” Yeah, so the Chiropractor is going to be seeing a specialist of his own now I presume? Perhaps a psychiatrist?

Simon Pope’s “Gallery Space Recall” exhibit at the Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff, Wales, in October is a startlingly empty room, with patrons called upon to supply the art by imagining another art show they have seen so that, wrote Pope, the two exhibits “exist at two locations simultaneously, both here and there.”

Pope wrote that the exhibit suggested the brain-injury disorder “reduplicative paramnesia,” in which a person has a delusional belief that something exists at two places at once.

What about the people that have never been to an Art exhibit before? How could they imagine another exhibit that they attended? Art is supposed to be objective but I think this is going just a little bit too far.
