⟡ NEW RELEASE ⟡ 𝑚𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑 #2 | 𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗴 & 𝗠𝗶𝗸𝗸𝗲𝗹 𝗥ø𝗿𝗯𝗼 | 𝐷𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑂𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑚 — Preview & pre-order in link in bio 𝐷𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑂𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑚 charts out the history of memetic circulation, situating it within a genealogy of occult logics. It operates as a constitutive force deeply embedded in technoculture and shapes how reality itself is produced. Tracing the emergence of fictions from early internet cultures to contemporary platform environments, it examines how they produce material realities, how politics operate as psychological warfare, and how desires are engineered through algorithmic feedback.  In the afterword, 𝗭𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝘀 takes us in and spits us out through the inverted, heretical vision of CULTUS, into the underside, rendering visible occult epistemologies operative within it. — 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 Ema Maznik Antić, Lea Sande, Marko Bauer, Janez F. Janša — 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻

𝐷𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑂𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑚 by 𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗴 and 𝗠𝗶𝗸𝗸𝗲𝗹 𝗥ø𝗿𝗯𝗼 develops the argument that the production of reality in technoculture is inseparable from forms of thought historically associated with the #esoteric, the #magical, and the occult. In this sense, #occultism is a constitutive dimension of how digital systems operate. Tracing developments from early internet cultures to contemporary platforms, the book examines how fictions generate material effects, how politics unfolds as a form of psychological warfare, and how these esoteric infrastructures participate in shaping desire, #belief, and collective imaginaries. — Afterword by 𝗭𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝘀 — 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀: Ema Maznik Antić, Lea Sande, Marko Bauer, Janez F.

⟡ 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝒎𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅 #𝟮: 𝑫𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝑶𝒄𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒎 ⟡ 5 May 2026—6 PM—Cukrarna Gallery, #Ljubljana The launch of the second issue of 𝑚𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑, #Aksioma’s editorial line dedicated to experimental and speculative approaches to contemporary digital culture, features a presentation by the authors of 𝐷𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑂𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑚, 𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗴 & 𝗠𝗶𝗸𝗸𝗲𝗹 𝗥ø𝗿𝗯𝗼, joined by members of the editorial team, 𝗟𝗲𝗮 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲 & 𝗘𝗺𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝘇𝗻𝗶𝗸 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰́, followed by a moderated Q&A. How can we think #technoculture at a moment when the boundaries between fiction and reality, belief and knowledge are increasingly unstable? 𝐷𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑂𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑚 approaches this question through a decisive shift: rather than treating #occultism as marginal or reactionary, it considers it as one of the logics structuring contemporary digital environments. The publication features an afterword by @zachblas , foregrounding an additional layer of #esoteric symbolism present and operating within the corporate strata of technoculture. — Event link in bio ⟡ ⟡ ⟡

We are all girls online. Not as a person, as a practice. And if we are all girls online, if The Rock can be a girl online, so can you. «And while it might sound a bit comical to picture The Rock as a girl–or to suggest that anyone could become a girl online–both actually point to something important: The Girl isn’t an identity; it’s a practice, a habit, a tool, and with that comes a certain kind of potential. So, in that sense, we’d say that many people have the potential to become a girl–and some, whether they realize it or not, already are one, willingly or unwillingly.» Charlotte Reuß (@_chrltt.reuss ) and Sophie Publig (@publig.enemy ) have researched this for years. We are all girls online is their research project addressing the girls online - less as a person or a gender-specific designation and more as a practice: a set of tools navigating the different frameworks through which we all operate in digital spaces and how many of our desires are externally projected onto us through algorithms, recommendations, or social media. A Trojan Horse that moves through late capitalist structures not by escaping them, but by using them. Through social media practice, academic lectures and symposiums, @weareallgirlsonline maps the Girl Online through queer and cyborg feminist theory, visual culture, and the algorithmic logic of the platforms she inhabits. Y you can find the Q&A through email with Charlotte and Sophie about the Girl Online as a practice; contradiction as a method; doing research inside the machine; aesthetics as theory; the fluidity of gender categories; and how political a girl can, or should, be on my Subtack. ▶︎ •၊၊||၊|။||||။‌‌‌‌‌၊|• 0:10 The third chapter is a text dedicated to Being a Girl online.

Navigating Unreality Mode 🌀 Within the affective currents of the feed, and the prevailing feeling of dread and derangement, we encounter the paintings, memes, and films of Eliška Jahelková (angel kether). As proposed by Sophie Publig & Claire Elise Herzberg, kether’s practice is a ritual of counter-algorithmic cosmic repair. Through aesthetic operations of blur, superimposition, and overexposure, kether’s work radiates an immanent Spinozian theology where the digital network itself becomes a site of divine connection (internet=god=love).
