Good Clean Pure Fresh New playfully presents viewers with an alternative way to be rid of their sins—a receptacle for bad energy and past misdeeds. Seated before a large pink arrangement of tape and paint on linoleum, viewers put on headphones and take part in a guided cleansing. Using language directly informed by guided meditations, Wiccan cleansing spells and other New Age tactics, the recording directs viewer-participants into a meditative state. Viewers are then instructed to gather all negative energy or guilt and feed into in to the pink tape web, where it is dissolved.
