Through vivid illustrations, archival media, and engaging storytelling, KAOS Theory shows how Ben crafted a life centered around the power of fellowship, community, and the use of art and media as a social force. The text takes a journey through history and time, beginning with Bens ancestors in the American southwest, up through Bens childhood in New Mexico, his experiences in Vietnam, his work as a filmmaker and pioneer of the L.A.
