MATRIX: TRANSMEDIA TO TRANSBEING
The interactive architecture of the project, and interactive nature of the Internet, has become a literal and metaphorical reference to the collective consciousness. This bio-information superhighway pulsates electric bits of knowledge through the neural network of earth, and gives us a direct view into our own minds and a reminder of humanity’s evolving relationship to technology. The MATRIX consists of a Forum, Maps (Visual Data), and User profile. This is where the scientist and artist merge. Many of the ideas, values and sentiments expressed in this work are equal parts art and science, with importance placed on both aesthetic and utilitarian instincts. Introducing a dynamic model of informational relationships interacting with an array of diagrammatic forms. In these diagrams, the informational characteristics, index system, as well as relationships between constituent elements are inherent in the design methodology.
The Internet serves as the narrative backbone for the DMTRMX project. The project encourages the world to study and assemble new juxtapositions from the media, and participate in unraveling concepts that only collective brainpower can produce, but by using your individual talent to tell your story. Generate films, music, installations, paintings, eBooks, or anything else imaginable through exploration. Furthermore, RMX’s will escape the online world and physical magnify the cross-referenced collection of knowledge shifting the paradigm. Story elements dispersed systematically across multiple media platforms, with Each element has unique contribution to the whole.
Within this transmedia mythology, our spiritual self plays the protagonist, and follows the traditional hero’s journey for salvation. Our Spirit relies on outside interpretations of this narrative, namely the variety of spiritual knowledge systems to help guide this transmission. We all rely on the way others project their worldview on each of our stories, and this back and forth communication manifests our understanding of our reality. As in real life, where the veracity of any story can only be activated by an audience, DMTrmx depends on platforms outside the straight storytelling of the single film, DMT: The Spirit Molecule, to evolve and influence systemic change.
Transcedental Modification (How will we know unless we get out and try). Perspective Shifting (Novel points of view to generate discussion). Psychoimagery (layering of mental templates to forge a new set of mindscapes.)
The exploitation of our global myths have propelled humanity towards a major cataclysm, and only a radical shift from our current conception of reality can correct our direction. As our spiritual and societal institutions collapse, we seek answers to questions that beckon our immediate attention - we must explore our personal, cultural and planetary myths to guide the flowing rivers of our reality; we must hack reality. The DMTRMX creates a space for the development of a novel language of deeply layered allegories to re-interpret and reclaim our mythologies. Stimulectual model (that which foments a marked change in perspective.)
Open source reality. Hacking the neural super computer of our minds hacks reality and culture. Hackers build, crackers break. Hackers have technical adeptness, delight in problem solving and shared culture/community and what they built. Or, hacking reality through active participation in the formation of a novel collective mythology. The wave of novel concepts will resonate into the collective consciousness and feed its evolution.
Become an active Reality Hacker, Spiritual Alchemist. Renovation of Inquiry (Asking new questions to seek new answers) Metalingustic Evolution (An active tool for self-reflection and informational empowerment.) No rule-bound spiritual applications. Follow your instincts instead. Explore new thoughts, share ideas and remix convention. Don't ignore the Quantum. Shove your foot in the door and schooch your way in. Ask questions. What is this? How is it happening? Why is it happening?
If thought and speech are the result of a distinct reciprocal evolution, they have reached their contemporary sophistication from much simpler origins. We can also assume that our current level of complexity is but a temporary station on an evolutionary journey into the future. This project should be considered an experimental apparatus whereby a novel culture is progressively engineered as we investigate, evaluate, and modify our thought and language systems according to a new paradigm.
Allow mysticism, wisdom and practicality to exist in harmony. Become the mystery of the Universe: hack reality!
