‘Egregore is an occult concept representing a certain non-physical entity that arises from the collective thoughts of a distinct group of people. More contemporarily, the concept has referred to a psychic manifestation, or thought-form, occurring when any group shares a common motivation being made up of, and influencing, the thoughts of the group.’
EGREGORE 3.0
phase 1: mapping the individual
The egregore 3.0 series intends to symbolically bring to awareness the possibility of the emergence of benevolently creative super-agents through the conscious use of our outer and inner technologies when oriented by the will for collective harmony and beauty, in the context of a web 3.0 paradigm.
In ‘phase I : mapping the individual’ the process is initiated by confronting the individual with the random need for harmonising the internal polarisation while in a contemplative environment. This is done by interacting with both hands, one for each proximity sensor, over the interface at the centre which controls the coordinates of two laser beams and their correspondent sonic movement in a 360º scope. Every time the opposites meet results in an audiovisual event and is recorded as a specific nodal point for the mapping of a growing digital sculpture to be implemented on phase II.
