The CROP CIRCLE (Int'l) CAKE PLUG is a motor-controlled rotating assembly housing 12,000 watts of aircraft landing lights (hailing from the central "cake" portion of the 48-foot-diameter dual-ring circular rotating touring stage formerly belonging to Neil Diamond) which has been modified in order to tour crop circles (by inserting the plug into pre-plowed crop holes worldwide) for Skuldt's musical outfits Stalactites/Stalagmites, and Snowflake.
While early navigation of the COLOR FIELD REEF (a sprawled luminous barrier of "disco reflector elements") directed these artifacts toward centralized entertainment focal points based on market forces, Skuldt now aligns the fragments in dialogue with an optimal astrological influence (in conjunction with crop circle placements), to assume a trajectory toward a quintessentially inactive state with its candy artifacts "buried" as collectible fetish fragments across the globe.
Having appeared in its full active configuration in stadium arenas worldwide, the elements of the 48-foot-diameter dual-ring circular rotating touring stage formerly belonging to Neil Diamond now aim to become increasingly dispersed-- appearing (and not appearing) in multiple "distributions" (or subsets) based on images recuperated from the internet, before its ultimate dispersal in its quintessentially inactive state with its candy artifacts "buried" as collectible fetish fragments across the globe (and its aluminum nether-assembly redistributed as particles throughout thousands of soda cans).

During the run of the show the Cake Plug (a rotating assembly of 12,000 watts of aircraft landing lights, modified to tour crop circles worldwide) are operated, lit, and rotated as a live set accompanying selections from Skuldt's musical releases.
