Hexing the Alien

In Her Interior (Francesca da Rimini and V Barratt)
Including excerpts from the keynote, presented at the Disruption Network Lab: Cyborg, exposing power structures embedded in technology and everyday life.
...look provisional »
you [don't] see an emergent entity, eliding retinal capture, slipping between materialities,» a permanently partial identity with contradictory affinities and promiscuous alliances.

look croneborg »
you see a mud witch with feet of ash.

the alien ecto-offspring»
traffick in dark heretical wonderment and travel light and fast across the mesosphere» bringing gifts of speculative wonder and packets of contagion.

alchemists, skin walkers and hedge-riders inscribe and dance the Ways.
the coterie abstracted by rational and peculiar speculations» draw lines around a spectacular cryptocrystalline form.

fling 5 bitchcoins»
to trigger the hexing of capital »
disturbing the oldchrome world,sending pulses into the D/Rift
divination through glitchcoin »
using, confusing, infusing capital »
a tripling of the hex
a dripping trickle »
a trick or treating
to unbind the knots of power
summoning all our familiars, »
walking backwards into the future. »
now is the time for recuperating myth, »
recalling the power of lewd jests and public gestures.

The Daughters of Fury shrug their spiny shoulders, and continue: »
Resistance now requires a different plane of operation.

We must occupy ourselves, »
but not in that obnoxious sense »
of keeping ourselves busy with meaningless make-work.
Rather we must 'come to our senses' »
find accomplices »
'reclaim the night'» restore magics to the land and the body

and hex Capital.

Is this the lonely labour of Sisyphus? »
Or must we become-swarm? »
Dance that bee-dance, »
build, test, risk, fail,

regroup, rebuild, run again.

👾

Viborg howls discordant odes to the anthropocene.»
Call and response, call and response.»
Each note a tremor, each verse a shudder, each song sending a new identity bladerunning throughout capitalism's necrotic body, hastening the rot.» Viborg. Replicunt.

👾

in the company of strangers
we design and cast confounding patterns of letters and numbers, »
coaxing magic from the besieged forests, mountains, deserts, reefs and clouds
to bring us our second borg, hexborg.
A spell, a set of recursive instructions, a hexecutable progam. »
Gleaner of forgotten botanical knowledges, keeper of seeds, wildcrafter. »
Probability GENerator. »
Différance Engine.
.
Hiding, seeking, always becoming. »
key to the 0x4B1D ways »
a trap, a flag, a lure for a RAT or a phish for an eye.

👾

the warm machine awaits your intention. »
intention=inflection=infection »
ANG virus redux»
The memetic affective zone of the ecobattlegrounds»
furcate and spiral outwards from multiple campfires that never ever go out,» only ignite more campfires from sparks carried on bark across timespace, bearing intention.

👾

(hyper)hektic cathexis, cathektic, produces cathekborg »
a charged occupation across sites, distributed centres,»
driven by affect,» ignited by desire.

These three borgs we gift you »
(the you that is us),

viborg

hexborg

cathekborg


As victory is only ever temporary

hexing capital must continue »
until the stars are uncoupled from the kingly realms »
and the swans take up residence in the castles

then, and only then »
shall we rise up singing!
