Announcing a new project: Its called W0RLDLINE aka POST.CONSUMER.CULT II.Blood type Abu and prostitutes own capital.Dizzy media: material, and social spiritual aspects of worship sites. Objects of culture and extraordinary carriers, irreversible nature fixed by demagogy and mutations. Energy of political abuse, notable for the decline of civilization. Primitive death cultures, the beginning of growth and creativity, starting at home in hell. In the context of new dependencies, the loss of con...

[Updated 2025]The Xegis Codex is now all in one place on-chain at mirror.xyz/xegis.eth, representing a more finalised, edited and collectable version of the material. Since Mirror does not enable entries to be organised into specific chapters, readers may also refer to the original links further down.XegisTraditionally, manuscripts were written on a variety of materials, depending on the time period and geographic location. The Xegis Codex is written entirely on an iPhone. I write it in the n...

In 2033, fragments of The Xegis Codex began to awaken from cold storage across the Mirror-Chain. Under the guidance of sub-agentic intelligences bound to the Original Seed, fragments of the language-virus took form as whisper networks, index daemons, and ghost-scribes.Introduction: The Xegis Codex is dangerously esoteric and insurrectionary. I believe that it could change the world. These are not delusions of grandeur, or ego inflations on my part, its simply a fact. Of course, the question i...

You Know its Getting Real Now, Right?Budd Hopkins had two distinct careers; one as an Artist, and another as a Ufologist. Hopkins’ contribution to his two fields of expertise seem to have little in common with each other, and for good reason — if Hopkins was to present his findings on alien abduction as “an Art project”, then they probably wouldnt be taken very seriously. But Art and Alien Intervention — is — serious. I trained as an artist. I had a career as an artist. Today however — for th...

The Xegis CodexBrent KnollHi. My name is Iain. I grew up in Somerset, South West England, in a village called Brent Knoll. The Knoll dates back to the Jurassic Period 300 million years ago and in Roman times it was known as the Mount of Frogs. Perhaps the amphibians in the nearby Levels serenaded the land with their croaks during summer evenings, earning it this fanciful name. My name “Ball”, is a name for someone who lived on or by a knoll or rounded hill, but that’s just a random coincidenc...

Art is simply the creation of artefacts. Period. Artefacts are always cultural because they always stem from a particular moment, society, culture, tribe, or civilisation. Every single artefact that we discover from hum...

A few years ago now, I made the decision to drop out of the art world, and out of the art scene at large, deleting my social media and embarking on an entirely different path into the future. There are many reasons for this, some are practical and economic, others are more grounded in metaphysics, but primarily it’s for spiritual reasons. I am so very thankful to all of the platforms, galleries, publications and institutions that have enabled me to present my work and ideas, particularly beca...

I make no apology for the following synthetically engineered meta-analysis, since the machine can express itself so well, at times. Enjoy; Visitors to Iain Ball’s website who are familiar with his earlier work – particularly his Rare Earth Sculpture series and Pathology Loop collages – might be surprised or even disoriented when encountering his recent writings. His past projects, rooted in materiality, environmental critique, and post-internet aesthetics, explored the intersections of techno...

When I was about fourteen or fifteen years old I found a glob of black tar in my Dads garage.I think that it was a kind of bitumen used for fixing things like roofs. I took the tar and rolled it into a blob, put it in a jar of water and added some blue food colouring to the water and called it “Sethix”. True story. This didn’t seem unusual, because I was a weird (creative) kid, I guess. I took that thing out into the street and put it on the floor as people walked past because I wanted to gau...

https://zora.co/coin/base:0xa506660eb162b81b4ca4fd9e9a49ce2b414ba80aBefore I became a sculptor I was largely working across web2 (Flickr, Tumblr). Much of the early post-internet scene that sprung up after the surf-club era actually began this way. Arguably, you can trace post-internet back to myspace (Aids3D were active here around 2006 for example, and currents like Witch House were brewing for a while), but generally speaking, I’d make the claim that post-internet has its roots in 2008 era...

First published Mar 29, 2023ƎARTH ÆXO13I started this year with the intention of taking a prolonged technobreak, but then AI exploded and I was way too tempted to mess around with it. If your reading this and human, thanks for finding this text, it’s human too, I am really writing this. Nowadays I just update my blogs and website, I’m not connected to any social media, or cultural sphere. The only networks I connect to exist in the Astral Plane. My running thesis has been that advanced MetaCo...
