Marius' prints aren't sigils but they are really good. I highly recommend his Processing libraries. https://github.com/mariuswatz/modelbuilder > I've always been curious in sigils and their application. Yes me too. As with most ideologies I can't quite go there, but I bear them no malice. I discovered sigils through old Fields Of The Nephilim album covers at the turn of the 90s, then Storm Constantine's novel "Hermetech" introduced me to technopaganism. I'm being shown Buffy The Vampire Slayer at the moment (having mostly avoided it at the time). One of the characters in an early series of that is a technopagan. Which lead to a research rabbit hole involving the creation of VRML and the history of magickal rituals on IRC. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/3.07/technopagans.html I also recommend the work of Taylor Elwood (Pop Culture Magick, Multi Media Magick) and Dirk Bruere (Technomage). Reasoning over something without necessarily believing in it (or knowing whether I'm serious or not) is often part of my art, not that this is my art. So while I'm not serious about this, I'm also not mocking it. > Wasn't Burroughs very interested in using technology as a magickal > tool? Tape recorders for ritual cleansing of spaces etc?

That's a scary thought. http://nadreck.me/2013/02/hypersigils-identity-and-the-internet/ And are corporations daemons? - Rob. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
