Explanation of Interface Penetration

Interface penetration is the core operational mechanism of transmedia sculptural systems—amorphous, cloud-based, biopsychosocial art-organisms that refuse localization, totality, or anthropocentric readability. It describes how a primary agent-object (a stealth device, logo, blackbox, or multi-object node—never the full "sculpture") infiltrates, binds to, and transmutes any substrate it encounters, whether physical (gallery, environment, collector's home), digital (website, NFT, .jpg file, reblog), or archival (contract, narrative strand, future alien hologram).

Key Principles:

1. Flattening & Portalization: Every interface—gallery wall, screen, photograph, tweet—is reduced to a 2D plane. The agent-object is inserted not to be the work, but to hack the plane and open a portal to the wider sculptural system. A DSLR photo of a 3D-printed lutetium polytope in a forest becomes a binding molecule: the image outlives the plastic, circulates faster, and dominates the network as a "more real" node.

2. Molecular Binding & Hyperlinked Tributaries: Penetration is sticky. The object accumulates information, narratives, (mis)interpretations, and associations like a virus. In the (RES) Lutetium case:

   • Bowers’ 2D hyperdimensional diagram → Sage’s 3D model → Energy Pangea’s printed, colored, renamed object → placed in "various environs" → photographed → uploaded → reblogged → curated → auctioned → bronzed → lost → rediscovered in 3025 as alien data. Each step is a penetration event, collapsing context and rebinding the object to new substrates.

3. Scalability & Quantum Tunneling: The object tunnels through mirrors (interfaces reflecting interfaces). It is:

   • A solid plastic toy in a forest.

   • A .jpg on a Google+ page.

   • A patent for a synthetic organism.

   • A hologram in 1000 years. Never fixed, always scalable, it leaves marks (RFID-like) that activate only when "hacked" by the right viewer (googling, excavating, mining).

4. Indifference to Aura & Viewership: In a gallery, the object is suspended animation—an unidentifid object, inert until accessed via smartphone. It does not pander. Its aura is deterritorialized, existing in the social bonds between nodes, not the object itself. The viewer co-creates via waveform collapse, but never sees the whole.

5. Post-Human Lifespan: Nothing dies. Information is archival god-space. The sculptural system outlives civilization, adapting through accidents, catastrophes, and future technologies. The lutetium polytope in 3025 is still penetrating—now as a 3D-printed artifact in unknown materials, scanned to access its millennia of bonded data.

In the (RES) Lutetium Project:

• Bowers’ 2D renderings = initial code.

• Sage’s 3D models = first penetration (2D → 3D interface).

• Energy Pangea’s prints = second penetration (digital → physical).

• Placement in environs = third penetration (studio → world).

• Renaming, coloring, circulation = binding to new narratives.

The "purpose" is not to create a static sculpture, but to seed a living system that penetrates every interface it touches, growing through (mis)interpretation, circulation, and morphological adaptation—beyond the human, beyond the market, beyond the gallery. The lutetium object is merely the virus. The sculptural system is the infection.

I have not been able to upload the new video,

I have even tried from friends accounts and it’s just not happening. I am having to reset the router every few hours. This is why I believe that I have finally reached some place where I am a threat to someone, thing, institution. I do not, on any level find it amusing nor do I find myself proud to be in this position. 

It is just an inevitable wall that you face.

I have high suspicions that members within the community have been working with officials, institutions, and government in Monarch programs, and I am experiencing stuff that you guys cannot possibly imagine.

What I can capture on camera is not going to happen when I have someone else with me,  it’s not going to go down the way it goes down when it’s just me alone and I am in that moment.

I can capture moments of the cell signalling; but it may not translate, please understand this; this is an intracrine signalling. These I suspect are Monarch psyops generated by users within our community to target individuals. 

I am not paranoid and I am trying to relay to you now, how this is affecting me and how I am being attacked. I have people following me and I have already uploaded those videos. I also suspect bio-neurological invasive programming has been used and I am not the first one to point this out as user EXP-Syndicate has also reported this. User EXP-Syndicate states that Britain is to be divided into eight regional zones and they could theoretically influence one zone to be happy and another depressed.

...And if you think that any of this is expounded upon, illusionary; delusions, anxiety, paranoia, then you need to keep your mouth shut when it comes to telling me that! Because all you are doing is helping me feel this. 

Oddly I am having great support come in from others outside of the community.

At this point I am literally preparing for my death. To the point that these activities are creating some kind of false memory syndrome or whatever, and I expect that the devices used by members within our community to supposedly block frequency fence exposure are actually doing the opposite and targeting individual members so that individual users can be controlled through infiltration operations; this is why you have members within our community working on this stuff who are actually being payed by monarch staff. 

It is not just about having videos deleted etc. This is real, people. And a lot of that attack, I have been able to, push away from me. I have been able to keep intact. But I am too "on the radar" to record any more videos.

https://manifold.xyz

About three weeks ago I started to record new areas I had not yet previously covered.

I was quickly and swiftly taken down by about twenty-five or so cars whose headlights were so bright that they were blinding. It is a disturbing feeling. Since it is the future of Britain you may soon also experience this. 

Know that I do not say this with bitterness. I just call things as I see them.

What I have experienced over the last few weeks has mutated, it has transformed. Lights have changed on police cars and ambulances, I don’t remember them being strange like they are now.

Gangstalking is a branch of the monarch program. Its formula goes something like this : Problem (Trauma) , solution, resolution (transformation). 

In Monarch the programmer has control over the individual without him/her ever knowing it. 

It is not about who you are that defines whether or not you are being saved from this madness, so now that you know it, it is time for everyone involved to educate themselves and do their own research...

And now, in these new overlapping of realities, this small forest encircled area near the motorway, it is where the ethereal, ghost-like world of interdimensional beings and craft move through the trees and where monarch operatives and infiltrators position the Intracrine signal. Well, it's either this or some ridiculous government hoax. But seriously, listen; it is not.

Throw the blue beam in the waste basket for a moment because not only am I personally dealing with fake planes; 

The journey has expanded into fake birds, lightning bugs, frogs...it is truly unreal…

Oh, and let us replace the word fake with frontier. It is new ground, strange and delicate. I am so thrilled to be here for it.

ENERGY PANGEA.

The Substrate

In 2011, ENERGY PANGEA, a multi trajectory accumulator for the realisation of possible worlds through the thematics of energy and consciousness, launched the Rare Earth Sculpture Project. The Rare Earth Sculptures (RES) were then developed to explore the intersection of energy and consciousness with materials science, mineral extraction, global supply chains, geopolitical tensions, complex systems dynamics, actor networks, and hyperobjects.

Building on the legacies of social sculpture, systems art, cybernetic art, land art, and site specific installation, and influenced by emerging discourses on OOO (Object-Orientated Ontology), the Rare Earth Sculptures would explore art as system and network within an expanded framework and understanding of the social, the human, and the non-human; interrogating the intricate relationships between object, environment, resource, material, sapience, and digital culture.

Terbium (2015) aimed to build on the earlier RES experiments within these domains and then push things even further. By creating through the methods described, the pallet and the inventory for the production of art is vastly expanded; networks of objects and their relationships can be explored in ways where the interactions between the communicating components of the Sculptural System branch out, and can then be looped back into the nucleus of the sculpture, which acts as gravity well, totemic-ritual ornament, and as conductive device for the summoning of a myriad of webs of relationships beyond—or, as in the logic described—within “it,” which is always more than the sum of its parts.

(RES) Terbium began with the prerequisite that the foundational materials of its system will include psytrance (particularly dark, forest, and hi-tech variants) and the website Eden Saga (eden-saga.com) by Xavier Séguin, and then build out from there. Music genres and websites on fringe historical and New Age topics aren’t physical materials, and therefore these would more-so act as substrate or base substance for the production and the emergence of the sculpture. Energy Pangea then decided to use the aesthetic pallet of Eden Saga as "vibe" and began scouting out psytrance producers. We determined—after some consideration—that the sculpture would have a soundtrack, which would act as one of its listed materials just as we had done with Neodymium in 2011.

Informed by the vibes of Eden Saga, the baseline process involved an ongoing exploration into psytrance scenes, genres, artists, and aesthetics in parallel to the production of the central nucleus (what we usually think of as the “sculpture”; the art object, or artefact, is referred to as the nucleus or core, since the real sculpture is the system, not the central “piece” or physical ornament.)

The Nucleus (Core)

In order for the psytrance and Eden Saga substrates to be applied, meshed, mapped, and embedded somehow (it was speculative to begin with) onto the nucleus, the production of the core would act as chaos-engine and basin of attraction for randomised agent-based modelling, or in other words, it would reflect the emergent properties of complex systems via an interaction between human-consciousness, the environment, and cyberspace to 'smash together random shit and build a narrative,’ or something like that.

Let’s cover the core elements and discuss how they interact, before looping back to the substrate and then mapping it onto the listed assetisation of the sculpture into the blockchain lattice.

The Mud Owl (raw bay mud gathered from Bridgewater Bay National Nature Reserve)

The Mud Owl likes to think of itself as the real art. It’s the true art object (in its own estimation) not only because it was hand made and sculpted from locally sourced materials and resembles native and ancient forms of handicraft; it also sits right in the goddamn centre of the whole sculptural system, enthroned in a Nest.

The Nest (3D printed plastic)

The Nest is a digitally hand sculpted 3D printed plastic model. It has been misidentified as a facehugger from the Alien franchise but this is a mischaracterisation, since its resemblance is accidental. The nest has been printed twice, once as part of the core nucleus to enthrone the Mud Owl, and once again in a smaller sized iteration as part of the Dark Psy Energy Pack.

Red Lizard Mustika pearl -Type C1 [IND33]

The Red Lizard Mustika pearl is a lizard pearl purchased from bezoarmustikapearls.com. Lizard pearls are esoteric and mystical items rooted in Southeast Asian (particularly Javanese and Indonesian) shamanic traditions. They are described as rare, naturally formed mystical stones or concretions originating from lizards, typically discovered in caves or jungles of Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo). They are not literal pearls like those from oysters but rather hardened, pearl-like formations—possibly bezoars (undigested masses or calculi found in an animal's body)—that are believed to hold spiritual essence or “energy” from the lizard.

Much like the hyperdimensional oscillator used in (RES) Cerium, 2012, the authenticity of this item is questionable. It comes with a certificate of authenticity but was bought ten years ago (this text is written in retrospective, (2025)) and the certificate has most likely been lost. The website appears to operate in a niche, esoteric market (Southeast Asian shamanic talismans), which receives limited mainstream scrutiny or consumer feedback.

This object sits at the higher level of the star-tetrahedron formation at the top of the nucleus. What it does, if anything at all (and we would argue that it most certainly does something) is speculative, to say the least.

GOCH - Terbium Energy Catalyst (QNSOO1) Quantum Natives / Energy Pangea

ENERGY PANGEA teamed up with GOCH, a Macedonian psytrance producer specialising in dark and forest variants, and the experimental music label Quantum Natives run by co-founders Awe IX and Brood Ma, to release Terbium Energy Catalyst, a unique Goch track with remixes from Ill Tariq, Brood Ma, Productlaneevol, 2lön, and Recsund.

Vibe-Tribe troll 2.0 10W Bluetooth Vibration resonance speaker

In homeopathy, the principle of "like cures like" (similia similibus curentur) involves using substances that cause symptoms similar to those of the condition being treated. Homeopathic remedies are often highly diluted, sometimes to the point where no molecules of the original substance remain in the final preparation, based on the concept that the "essence" or "energy" of the substance is retained. In extreme cases, particularly in certain esoteric or experimental practices, some homeopathic preparations may involve writing the name of the substance on the container or using symbolic representations, with no physical trace of the substance present. This is based on the belief that the intention or information of the substance can still have a therapeutic effect.

The Vibe-Tribe troll 2.0 10W Bluetooth Vibration resonance speaker doesn’t contain the rare earth element Terbium, but some vibration resonance speaker’s do contain trace ammounts. The homeopathic principle is thus applied to the sculptural system, where the GOCH - Terbium Energy Catalyst (QNSOO1) release is played from the speaker directly into the core of the sculpture itself, channeling the Terbium energy into the networks substrate.

The Core Framework

The Core Framework refers to the scaffolding that structures the “electron-cloud”-like components of the nucleus, holding the core system together. This model was developed throughout the previous Rare Earth Sculpture’s, and with Terbium we sought advanced and skilled production and fabrication techniques to enable its realisation.

This included a CNC-milled aluminium base (with Goch typography) so that the nest would sit in position, and CNC-milled printed plastic cuffs to lock onto the nest and position the star tetrahedron above the Mud Owl, in turn aligning the resonance speaker and lizard pearl on the central axis of the sculptures core. Three aluminium spheres were then used to elevate the core components and emphasise their position as central to the systems network.

Terbium Dark Psy Energy Pack (Camelbak Octane LR Hydration Pack, printed plastic)

Much like the handheld Burial Accessories used in (RES) Thulium, 2013, the nucleus of the sculpture would utilise a set of migratory components that enable activation to extend beyond the sculptures core. By downloading the GOCH - Terbium Energy Catalyst (QNSOO1) release, activators receive a 3D model of the Nest, and are able to print it off and attach it to a Camelbak Octane LR Hydration Pack, or similar product, and thus participate in the extension and continuation of the sculptural network.

Now, lets knit the substrate to the nuclei's actants, and weave the system back into the blockchain lattice:

We decided to instigate an experiment;

The Centre For Youth Consciousness doesn’t exist as such, its a model for a potential entity which might or might not be regulated by ENERGY PANGEA.

Its interaction with (RES) Lanthanum is such that the potential for CYC to become a tangible working thing serves as a basis for the sculpture to be reverse swarm funded by The Centre for Youth Consciousness. This means CYC doesn’t just become part of its cloud material, but is taken to the degree that the sculpture is actually crafted from the potential for CYC to become a reality…

How?

Lanthanum means 'to be hidden' and among other rare earth elements it's a primary ingredient in the batteries of Toyota’s Prius, a hybrid car which is thought to be the biggest user of rare earths of any object in the world. 

By +SHAPESOURCING specific modules which could have direct access to carcass improv containers intending to act as manifold hack-space and fuelled by youth consciousness, the sculpture acts as camouflage orientated towards a complex pattern of change which sets its mark on educational institutions, democratic organisations and in the labour market, only in reverse.

How?

Developed as a decorative table sculpture and released through the private-function space of Obicà Mozzarella Bar in London's Canary Wharf: Obicà means 'here it is' and by posing as corporate camouflage (RES) Lanthanum is intended to act as affective stealth object lateral to other permanent corporate sculpture located in and around the privately owned Canary Wharf Group territory.

Albeit with undefined outcomes and results.

Somehow if this were all lubricated by socially and environmentally conscious teenagers (a double flip) it might make sense. Is this something we can envision collectively? Could we strive for an entire storm system or weather pattern? What about an expansion of climate consciousness in general? Or how about questions like;

"What is the probability of Europium divisions emanating from Bayan Obo and fusing with consumer debris which restrict flows atypically and increase biodiversity at the same time?"

What would be the result? A Coal Chamber collateral damage machine running on free flow? or maybe a Killswitch Engage emancipation pattern recognition algo which actually works....

Now lets envision Europes future; a potential bioeconomic meltdown or something else, something stranger?

If this were real or if it had some potential territory elevated then we got it covered...

[Rare Earth Sculptures] Promethium (archival poster I, 2012)

PROMETHIUM is a speculative sculptural device that fuses surveillance technology, security systems, and speculative theory to explore unrealized potential and alternative evolutionary pathways. Drawing on the mythology of the Winklevoss twins as symbols of stasis, frustration, and sudden disruptive change, the work imagines their collective energy generating an exoplanet rich in Promethium - a rare, unstable element with untapped technological promise.

https://manifold.xyz

Deep Structures:

The Winklevoss twins represent a kind of divergent pathway existing as unrealized potential. The punctuated equilibrium model in evolutionary biology embodies three concepts: stasis, punctuation and dominant relative frequency (Eldridge and Gould, 1972). Stasis refers to a long period of relatively unchanged form; punctuation is radical change over a short duration; and dominant relative frequency is the rate these events occur in a particular situation.

Where the phyletic gradualism model presents the theory that change happens over long sustained periods of time, punctuated equilibrium suggests that change, when it does happen is sudden, abrupt and unpredictable — akin to the high-risk, high potential gain of venture capital investments.

Energy Pangea was faced with the task of coming up with a solution which would not only harness this unrealized potential and escalating frustration that the Winklevoss twins embody, we also sought to find a method which would convert that energy into a new potential pathway for speculative gain in the field of Rare Earth Metals.

We came up with a device which would convert the energetic potential of the Winklevvii's collective psyche into an exoplanet full of vast Promethium deposits. Because Promethium only exists in trace amounts on Earth and due to the elements uniquely unstable isotope counts it has little applications yet lots of potential. A different evolutionary route for example could be an imperative asset for developing unknown future technologies and applications if only we could find ways of connecting with them. The sculpture has various ammunition at its disposal which can be deployed in an array of ways which connect with the Winklevoss planet. Bruno Latour considers the notion of multirealism through his new project An Inquiry Into Modes Of Existence. Though not aligned with traditional realism, Latour's actor-network model allows for any claim to be made no matter how far-flung and leaves no room for debunking as it bases itself on the premise of translation and mediation through different states of being — objects/events are considered detector/carriers which are traceable. We also used the many worlds interpretation to secure the idea that there is at least some chance that a Winklevoss planet exists. Given the eternal inflation, unimaginably infinite structure and complexity of the multiverse we are also considering how small events and investigations may profoundly alter the course of history.

Access Control:

The sculpture works as a tracking device with its own network feedback intelligence. Based on a cellular/atomic structure with a central nucleus, outer membrane and lots of space and separation - it interacts with its environment in various ways;

• The Bushnell® Bone Collector™ Trophy Camera which forms part of the nucleus has the ability to track and record activity in the surrounding environment. Originally used for hunting game and monitoring wildlife, it uses motion detectors, infrared, LED's and a built in camera with mpeg video. This means that we can position the sculpture in an environment and assess its ability to form attractors.

• We also fixed a Texas Instruments RI-TRP-W9TD-30 RFID TAG to the central hub, this gives the sculpture the ability to be located and establish a connection with potential intelligences which could help us communicate with the Winklevoss planet. Dr. Roger Leir has successfully removed alien implants from abductees and although they contain unknown materials with isotopes similar to meteorites, the RFID Tag is the closest instrument we were able to gain access to which an extraterrestrial intelligence could potentially locate.

• The outer part of the sculpture is comprised of components which make up a Raptor® Anti-Scaling Barrier. This is a type of security fence which uses plastic razor sharp spikes with each single component consisting of four spinning claw-like pods. The Raptor® acts as the outer membrane, It's purpose is to filter attention. Memetic/Exoteric attention is left on the outside of the sculpture whilst a small amount of Concentrated/Esoteric attention is able to filter through and form emergent connective pathways.

...Then like a portal opening up into another world, we need to open up a very new grouping of determinations of being: atemporal, non-spatial, subjective perhaps, or qualitative, or virtual, or transcendental. And we must include those in which existence in only grasped as a fleeting and almost un-utterable experience, or which demand an enormous intellectual effort to understand what it is they are not yet made of, and which only a more extensive thinking could embrace. If it is even true that it would be necessary to understand the universe in all its complexity, not only to make thought capable of all the multicoloured rays of existence, but of a new white light, a white light which unified them all in the brightness of a superexistence which surpasses all these modes without subverting their reality.

Originally released by Appendix Project Space in July 2012, E N E R G Y⋮P A N G E A has taken account of the wider circumstances which extend out from the site of the exhibition space and beyond.

Compelled into rising states of efficiency, we set up a device which would attribute a composite formula to Appendix’s hometown of Portland Oregon, a sort of inverted piece of land art. The piece builds upon a project which is taking place simultaneously with the release of the show. That project, which aims to pump 24 million gallons of water into the side of a dormant volcano in Central Oregon to create a supply of sustainable geothermal energy, is broken down into the subjects water and consciousness and reassembled as follows: 

As pressure mounts on world leaders to find realistic solutions and address the impacts of accelerating global environmental and economic challenges, we began developing a device which would be well acclimatized to a high degree of fluctuation in the weather and withstand increasing oscillations in the economy, political stability and collective-psyche of any given region. [Rare Earth Sculptures] CERIUM uses three essential components which bind themselves to the Cerium element in order to create an energy vortex by positioning a set of mediators within a wider one.

It works like this; mounting pressure to find solutions is first pumped through the 4000UF LIFESAVER bottle at the top of the sculpture where it undergoes a rigorous transformation. During this process the Lifesaver component itself is transformed from an advanced portable water purification device used by people hit by natural disasters to produce safe drinking water and leisure enthusiasts seeking a more authentic experience into a vessel which filters escalating climate-anxiety in order to obtain a calm and meditative state, using everyday tap water as a catalyst.

Filtered tap water then ends up in the central part of the sculpture in a pool where it interacts with a sulphur specimen. This sparks off a network of interconnectors which draw in an amplitude of sequential hyperobjects. Notably, it turns the whole sculpture into a kind of meta-filtration device for evolving ecological strategies: particularly the potential threat of carbon dioxide emissions from volcanoes as a homeopathic-style remedy for human induced global warming. It does this by using the similar qualities of sulphur to cerium in order to draw in the reciprocal agency of its Ce⟿S⟿CO2 formula. 

A kind of psychic transducer called a hyperdimensional oscillator purchased from lifetechnology.com for roughly the same price as the Lifesaver bottle is suspended underneath. The object, which is essentially no more than a pill box with a piece of wire inside, claims to use Tesla technology to transport consciousness in order to access other dimensions of space time.

Akbastau is an area in Kazakhstan’s Southern Province, located in the district of Suzak. The area lies 1,505 Kilometers from Astana and is home to one of Kazakhstan’s largest Uranium Mines, a Russian-Kazkahn joint venture which is operated by Kazatomprom, a state-owned nuclear holding company which operates in the fields of Uranium and nuclear fuel cycle services. The company also engages in a vast array of geological exploration based around the by-products of its Uranium extraction, many of which consist of Rare Earth Elements. Kazatomprom, then processes these materials at the Ulba Metallurgical Plant in Ust-Kamenogorsk, located in the East, an area which is notorious for its contaminated groundwater and hazardous industrial waste sites left over from soviet-era mining practices.

In November 2010 the multinational conglomerate Toshiba began working with Kazatomprom in Kazakhstan to utilize Dysprosium and Neodymium by-products from the Uranium extraction process at Akbastau. The Rare Earth Technology Development Team was subsequently set up as a new division within Toshiba’s Industrial Systems Research and Development Center, with the aim to use new technology to recover and sell Rare Earth materials and Rare Metals.

(RES) Dysprosium was developed in an alignment with these processes as a catalyst for the creation of new values and is intended to be used within Kazakhstan’s Akbastau and Ust-Kamenogorsk regions. The sculpture aims to generate a wave of activity coinciding with the recent developments in Rare Earth Technologies that highlight and emphasise a continuous improvement of the environmental condition and will infuse an impulse for the development of native technologies. By doing this, we hope to pave way for new strategies and directions to emerge, which excel and heighten the geological vibrations and organizational psychology of the region and its global connections.

https://manifold.xyz

During the later part of the 18th Century amidst the Industrial Revolution, developments in the coal and iron industries ended thousands of years reliance on the life preserving rhythm of the sun in replacement with the dread ticking of the clock. Thus modern capitalism embarked on a two hundred year long insurrection against the creator of all life on earth. When the coal and iron industries diminished during 1900’s the Earth’s rebellion against its creator was far from over. New industries in crude oil and rare metals arose to continue the perpetual drilling, digging, and unearthing of the rebel energy sources.

The Small Maitreya Solar Cross is both a sacred and ancient symbol of adornment to the Sun’s immense power and to bespoke, high-end products of consumer culture which point their middle finger at the sky. At its retail price of £682.50 it is a shrine to the precious metals that lay within the Earth’s crust. The bearded dragon which sits next to the Solar Cross presents another paradox; she basks underneath a neodymium lamp in captivity whilst her wild relatives are threatened in their natural habitat due to global warming.

120bpm does more than move the dance floor; this repetition, this constant meditation on these subjects asks for one thing: we want the Sun back*...

* Neural Oscillations are a rhythmic or repetitive neural activity in the central nervous system. Repetitive and mediative methods such as brainwave entrainment can be applied to lower the threshold of consciousness through drum beat and other techniques, thus moving neural activity into a position between the two brain hemispheres, towards the "principal seat of the soul".

The parietal eye, also known as a parietal organ or third-eye is responsible for regulating the circadian rhythm in reptiles, often visible at the top of the head.

Exposure to light in reptiles and humans alike can set off a chain reaction of enzymatic events within the pineal gland which regulate circadian rhythms.
