The origins of the Temple are shrouded in mystery. Nobody quite can determine the factors in which led to the temple inception. Coincidences of this magnitude are hard to swallow.

What is known is that the Temple Of Tuna Visions was started during the winter months of 2007, by the High Preists of Tuna, Jussi Löf and Niilo Kipsonen (Neil Gibson), also known under the alias Usee and Nil. It became apparent that over the course of their lives, both Usee and Nil had consumed, and certainly overdosed on tuna. Unknownst to the duo, there is something in the tuna which affected them strangely, even cosmically brought them together, some kind of secret indgrediant in the Sacred Tuna. The tuna now gave them visions. Checking with several scientific sources, they were diagnosed with heavy metal poisioning, which scientists say can affect the mind and produce a psychosis. But Usee and Nil knew this to not be true, and manifested the Temple of Tuna Visions in honour of the sacred visions which they had recieved.

Later, Usee and Nil were on an epic expedition, exploring some abandoneded ruins at a port near the artic circle. This was when they found some old documents, hard to read but still legible. It is supposed that the cold climate preserved the documents, preserving the astonishing information contained within. The documents spoke of and undersea world, possbily similar to Atlantis, in which they worshipped the Tuna God. This completey blew the fish brains out of Usee and Nil. They realized that the Tuna Temple was an modern incarnation of the ancient cult of believers in the primodial symbol of the fish. The visions they had been recieving were of an ancient culture and time, somehow mixed with visions of the future and a world yet to exist.

Usee and Nil have discovered The Temple of Tuna has many meandering schools of thought which constantly reveal themselves as time circles and tides change. Usee and Nil also were quite aware of the state of the art, and decided something must be done in contrast of the fishyness of the art world, and the fishyness of the new 'movements' within visionary cultures. The Temple is the constant fusion of concepts and images, ever changing and always open for interpretation by the fisherman. The symbol of the fish has many encoded meanings itself, most of them fishy. The Temple of Tuna Visions is a half sarcastic revelation of the cosmic joke. If you are what you eat, you are what you see. Tune into and channel TunaVisions and consume with your eyes. Be aware that temple is a paradox, as it does not physically exist, yet it still manages to produce true believers, perhaps thoes who follow their own paths. So if you happen to be swimming by, tune into the tuna temple in your own mind and see what creations can be revealed. What can you sacrifice to the temple? Make an offering in the honour and horror of the sacred Tuna elders, and perhaps you will recieve a fishy taste of enlightenment within yourself.
