The 14 delivery address values point to 5 real-world locations — each a deliberate choice:
Alexander Shulgin Research Institute (2 variants: clean + smudged) — Sasha Shulgin, "the Godfather of Psychedelics." He synthesized MDMA, 2C-B, and hundreds of other psychoactive compounds at his home lab in Lafayette, California. Author of PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) and TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved). The address on the parcel is a pilgrimage marker — sending mail to the source of psychedelic chemistry.
USP Terre Haute (4 variants) — United States Penitentiary, Terre Haute, Indiana. Home of the federal death row. Site of Timothy McVeigh's execution (2001) and the resumption of federal executions in 2020. Sending a parcel here means sending art to the belly of the carceral state.
Grateful Dead House (2 variants: clean + smudged) — 710 Ashbury Street, San Francisco. The communal home of the Grateful Dead during the Summer of Love (1967). Epicenter of the psychedelic counterculture.
Big Nig's House (4 variants) — Underground culture reference preserved faithfully as part of the art.
Dow Chemical Co (2 variants: clean + smudged) — Manufacturer of Agent Orange, napalm, and Saran Wrap. The corporate-industrial complex as destination — sending parcels to the machine.
The addresses map a moral geography: psychedelic lab, federal prison, counterculture commune, underground figure, military-industrial corporation. Where you send things says everything about what world you live in.
