The small charge psychedelia of Beier's surrealism is the world become reproducible, a world capable of being reproduced in an unccanny distance between real and its surrealist cartoonifaction. Objects under glass become image, virtual, water and glass become exchangeable, able to print the world, translated, tiled, clicked, and dragged, falsified like currency. Magrittean prophecy rung true.
