In this piece, Shupak examines the correlations between political visions of utopia and the space Daniel Fischlin and Ajay Heble refer to as the other side of nowhere, a space in which the world can be re-envisioned. Shupak uses Sun Ra's "Brainville" as an example of how improvised music itself can create a sociopolitical imagination of a new politics, a utopia.
