A multimedia ritual offering A/V installation (5 min, 59 sec) presented as part of the Coaxial Media Arts Festival, curated by FemSynthLab. This installation is a product of recent experimentations with tape music, fascinated by the electro-magnetic properties – especially as it relates to the planetary energies of Mars – and its interactions with other metals.

The ritual offerings are invoking and in dedication to the goddess Babalon, who is a form of the goddess Inanna/Ishtar, particularly appearing in the book of Revelations 17 branded by the Christian church via John of Patmos as the “Mother of Harlots” and “Mother of Abominations and All the Filth and Fornications of the World”.
“I like the idea of the invocations being transmitted from electromagnetic tape to the hot metal of the incense burner, which after a number of revolutions eventually starts disintegrating the physical sound, as the earthbound magnetic prayers are carried to the heavens.”
