Networked Rites and the Quest for Morphic Fields of Compassion Masterclass
Ritualistic Art, the Collective Mind as Creative Artist, and the Serpentine Cosmic DNA Dance of Evolution and Emergence 11-16 August, 2015
at The Ionion Center for Arts and Culture, Kefalonia, Greece
in conjunction with the local feast of the Holy Snakes of Mary

Led by Dr Lila Moore – Advanced Research Associate at the I-Node of Planetary Collegium, Plymouth University, deviser of The Cybernetic Institute for the Exploration of Technoetic Arts and Consciousness

The Masterclass explores the shamanic and cybernetic systems of rituals that sustain transformation, and the impact of ritualistic art forms. Divided into groups, the participants engage with the island’s geographical body, serpent mythology and ceremony through daily ritual protocol and feedback. Immersion in 5 unique channels/holons of vision, sound, text, movement and intention/compassion culminates in the discovery of the group-mind’s creative DNA which is then embedded in a morphic field via networked rite.
The outcome generates compassionate interpersonal-relations and social connectivity, cultural awareness of ritual practice, amplified creativity and flexibility, and a process of study that triggers new expressions and knowledge of self/identity, world/realities, field consciousness and the embodiment of the mind.
Final Product is a digital entity entitled “Morphic Field of Compassion”, embedded with group-mind DNA and field consciousness, which could be re-activated via repeated rituals.
The Masterclasss is designed for artists, researchers, students, individuals and groups involved or interested in the creative fields and in the integration of art, science, technology and consciousness research.
Certificate of Participation will be provided upon completion of the workshop as an acknowledgement of the process undertaken. It will be issued by Dr Lila Moore/The Cybernetic Institute for the Exploration of Technoetic Arts and Consciousness.

Voigth-kampff (2015)

Taken into account the importance of the relation between the ideological patterns and the social groups in our human nature, the
work tries to measure the involuntary ocular changes that take place in a group of persons, segmented in Ideological Apparatus of
States. To do that they are asked some questions that put into crisis the values they represent, in order to determinate the level of
automation they have according to the ideology they reproduce.
Motivation:
– Test made by Rick Deckard in the movie Blade Runner (after
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philliph K. Dick) for detecting robots.
–Segmentation in mechanisms named Ideological Apparatus of States by Louis Althusser.
Objective:
Measuring the level of automation in a group of persons segmented in Ideological Apparatus of States.
Methods:
Inductive-deductive, Phenomenology, Ethnomethodology.

Promytheus Unthanked (2015)

At the turn of an age the Titans lost the rule upon the cosmos to Zeus and his siblings. One of the titans, Promytheus, had tried to advise to his own kind that technology would earn them victory rather than honest might and power, but, they dismissed it as folly. So, Promytheus sided with Zeus and directed his offensive with techniques and innovative methods.
The new order had Zeus as leader and ruler and among his world reforms he would have human kind erased. Promytheus thought otherwise. He first gave man the advantage over the fear of death by giving them ‘blind hope’. Fire and her illumination were signifier gift that pertains to the collective of mechanical, structural, scientific, logical thought. He even instructed the most effective sacrificing rituals and methods so as to best appease the Gods. Zeus remained idle to the reinstatement of the human race -almost aloof- but, punishes Promytheus so rigourously as to make and example.
A syncretic approach to Next Nature is the disclosure of Promytheus and his advent in our turn of an age. In our passing into this, Next Nature. Yet, thanks is not given here; Promytheus remains unthanked.
A ficus on a square, his voluptous bark and branches, and a small boy perched up them. The reach of the image is both skyward, and rooted to the ground. The warning tape surrounding it hints to the toxicity of human arrogance. A turntable head a miniscule crossroads of art, science, and technology. Music, friction, electronic device. The syllables separated offer eclectic readings of the poster.

Evolution of a Landscape, Peratata, Kefalonia.
38.1367° N, 20.5567° E (2015)

Using the colour information, time/date stamp from my digital photograph taken at Peratata and the location’s coordinates as base integers, this poster seeks to explore my emotional response to the landscape as recalled by memory.
A vista seen again through closed eyes, somewhat like a retinal afterimage.
Personal emotions; vertigo, the structures falling away, the landscape itselffalling into the Ionian sea. St George’s Castle’s stormy past, connected by asuccession of different rulers.
Through the intense colours of an oppressively hot day, the lure of the
refreshing sea trickles through the mind and half-glimpses of sunlit bays androcky coves pervade the landscape, almost as mirages.

Oocyte Aesthetic, Human Design and Mission Creep (2015)

What are the cultural aesthetics of our ecological future? The decision to
design babies along a plurality of aesthetic lineages may have an impact on
the future of ecology and diversity of our planet. As competitively designed
meat puppets take up more and more of the terrestrial grazing land, we have
come to understand that we live on a planet dominated by humans and their
quest for acquiescence. Designed and cloned transgenic humans are limited
editions but they can reproduce and stabilize independently. Bred by industry,
transgen[ic].people may be foreign species brought forth from technological
sites but are they capable of initiating enough gene expression pattern
dissonance for us to want to live with them for generations to come.
Sometimes real-time congenital health cures are not enough. There is an
economy of aesthetics, which will drive the ecological affect of our engineered
future.
