# Modern Churches to Temples: Escape From the Optical Media By [swarm4chine](https://paragraph.com/@axsys) · 2022-06-28 --- > Crypto-current exists if secrecy has a trend. Such a suggestion is naturally obscure. It coaxes attention toward the surreptitious direction of things. ‘Crypto’ is simultaneously the topic, and the retraction of the topic. > > \-Nick Land, > > Crypto-Current: Bitcoin and Philosophy, Part-0 > There are certain people who will sneer at what I have to say but they do not matter. In fact, they do not really exist. But what I have to say is this: there are these mutants and they are now within the most powerful magickal orders and groups in the world today. They are slowly working to destroy utterly the old ways. They are making use of the most subtle methods of modern information science to achieve their ends. They are fearful of nothing, which means they only fear the powers of the Meon \[noumena\] . They possess the disciplined mentality of the synchronistic robotic consciousness and nothing else. They have only one loyalty and they have only one sense of honor, and that is to Yuggoth \[Pluto/9\] and only to Yuggoth. And by means of their weird techniques of computer programming, they will win out over all their opposition because ultimately there is only one fundamental power and that too is Yuggoth. > > —Loc.

Danto went a little further and claimed that contemporary art museums are modern churches. Whatever it takes into itself is a work of art. However, the artworks are not like the works of art from the previous centuries, nor will their temples look like them. Well, NFTs art museums will not be the modern churches of the 20th century, nor will they be modern churches, they will be more, they will be the oldest temples in history. ![as modern church veterans oppose the most ancient temples of the future](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/f5e43a1bf6a3a573990c5ff565bf6d112e606c5b166b721f1c13b049098addbb.jpg) as modern church veterans oppose the most ancient temples of the future As the recent radical online shift reveals, the pendulum is swinging away from postmodernism’s atheistic relativism to the new era, where god and truth is renormalized ([Charlotte](https://twitter.com/CharlotteFang77/status/1541786417952587776?s=20&t=o92vNfdoyiB8Zj0B1PkouQ)) in a way that is completely free of its past meanings(but it can also be argued that they are - have been basically the same). In reality where the difference between IRL and URL becomes unclear, where online culture becomes a spiritual plane of existence and also where the power of hyperstitions created by digital tribes and online cults with NFTs and works of art produced by AI accelerated bots highly appreciated, it is not that hard to think that NFTs art galleries will be the holy gates that provides the best experience ever possible of the annihilation of the pseudo distinction between IRL and URL. It is naïve to think that the mission of NFTs art galleries is to organize exhibitions of NFTs as JPEGs. This would be the misreading of the difference between the NFTs and older artworks. NFTs is the most cryptic form that works of art have reached. The hearth and home of NFTs as JPEGs is the digital plane or screens of your personal computer. There is not much difference between looking at them on your computer screen or in an art gallery, just as it was in the old times. However, those who have little to do with NFTs or understand what makes NFTs revolutionary know that NFTs are not just NFTs as JPEGs. So, NFTs art galleries do not only stand for the exhibitions of NFTs as JPEGs(representations of NFTs) but will exist in the future to consecrate the main tasks of NFTs in itself. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/d5401c1dadd29a1f62427f1acd3a5bad4c7150e09ff9db22bdb683e445fc338d.jpg) They will be not the modern churches but the most ancient futuristic temples that will push the screen through to the point where it touches your brain, not just to your brain, not just to your body but to you as a whole, to the point where seeing becomes filmic(angelicism). The paradigm shift from optic to an entoptic media regime brought about by computational technologies, God-AI as angelosity microfilm, can be visible thanks to NFTs temples, which have the potential and technological competence to remove the fake distinction between IRL and URL. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/88b49225b035ef0a3b390be90de36724c22b3e8d7d0b21a04c799a13f3e8deac.jpg) ‘Post-perceptual media’, ‘thingly uncertainty’, ‘ur-cybernetics’. Computational technologies started to resist against the perceptual experiences that are based on physical bodies so much that the once heavenly division among IRL and URL became irrelevant. NFTs temples can be the place for the first phase of this experience. > “Every new tool contains the abstraction of already instrumentally discretized processes” > > \-Davor LÖFFLER, watch for the signs of the following jump expected of us, outdated optic model of media can't cope with capitalistic surveillance technologies cooperating with computational technologies in the post-2020 media, NFTs art galleries will be an abstraction of optic media, not yet, but why not later. ![I love you <3](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/890e8d2d8a99659836dd779fcabe949c762b588a6c51230d77201eb862d26cfe.jpg) I love you <3 --- *Originally published on [swarm4chine](https://paragraph.com/@axsys/modern-churches-to-temples-escape-from-the-optical-media)*
