Her paper is the outcome of a 2018 Web 3.0 collaboration assessing the impact of social media movements: “From #MeToo to #WeToo.#MeToo shaking up entrenched power structures and collapsing the hierarchies of celebrity cults in government, the academy and the entertainment industry is viewed from a quantum Web 3.0 perspective freeing desire from the oppression of the Web 2.0 “Like.” Producing the phenomenology of a media firestorm surrounding a Web 3.0 initiative to deconstruct the hidden power structures surrounding Critical Theory celebrity cults in the American academy, this paper utilizes an invented methodology of deconstruction in hermeneutics to present Vincenzo Di Nicola’s breakthrough, Trauma and Event.

The experiment culminates in a quantum object production. The experiment testing quantum wave collapse was inaugurated under Covid19 quarantine. Leong Yijing methodology informed the production of the measurement. The apparatus uses the logic of Chance, applying it to produced social media phenomenology commemorating the 83rd solar return of Wolfgang Pauli's prophetic dream. In keeping with the predictive timing within the dream, the throw of coins outcome was confirmed by the biorhythms of the cosmos: the wave collapse taking place on the 24th anniversary of the January 23, 1997 Seal of Solomon alignment between Heaven & Earth. This repetition of cyclic timing reflects the physicist's vision of the hexagonal structure of the hieros gamos icon arising from under the wave collapse. This birth of the Third produces an ontology of the quantum object and an understanding of the autonomy of number as unifying energy and matter.

Daniel Rothbart's invitation to curate a new Meditation/Mediation performance for the 2006 Peekskill Project was an opportunity to seek this mythical narrative in my curation praxis.
The Hudson River location of the Peekskill Project was therefore ideal. As in the previous performance, "Meditation Médiation under a Lunar Eclipse 05/24/05," the inspiration for "Hudson River: Meditation Mediation" was Marsileo Ficino, whose use of natural magic catalyzed the Italian Renaissance.
While embarking on this second 2006 collaboration with my fellow Aquarian, the human expansion of consciousness regarding the western interpretation of the cosmic cycles by way of Greek mythology presented the opportunity for a river of historical importance to birth a new mythology for the feminine.
Eris, the awakener, otherwise known as the Goddess of Discord, elbowed her way into the performance by way of astronomer Mike Brown, the discoverer of UB40, announcing on September 13, as this performance was being prepared, Eris as the official name for the body orbiting beyond Pluto.
In 2006, the annual Peekskill Project fell during the unusual occurrence of a solar eclipse on the Fall Equinox, which mythologically represents Persephone's entrance into the Underworld after being raped and kidnapped by Pluto. As with our former performance at the LAB NYC, , we made an elective timing for High Noon on the day of the Autumn Equinox at Riverfront Green Park in Peekskill, New York, with a concluding Rosh Hashanah Tashlich Ceremony the final performance by Livia Straus.
This second Meditation Eclipse performance fulfilled the quantum leap incorporating past/preset/future initiated by the former while expanding the earthly dimensions of the gallery to heaven, thereby completing a narrative of the Hieros Gamos union of Heaven and Earth. The performances of six female artists was unknown to myself, the curator, until just prior to the noon performance; the organizing principle of the hieros gamos icon numbered alignment on accordance with the passage of the kundalini through the chakras. My post-performance writing of a performance summation had a quantum effect interpreted in this paper, completed in 2021, just days before the fifth and final Eris square Pluto on October 9 at 12:18 pm EDT.

The struggle for a singular Cypriot identity in a long history of invasions is reflected in the UN protected Buffer Zone zigzagging through the capitol city of Nicosia, dividing the irresolvable binary of the Greek speaking Republic of Cyprus from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, recognized only by Turkey.
A cross-disciplinary pilgrimage across the Cypriot Green Line dividing Greek and Turkish culture led to the origins of feminine beauty, a topic repressed within the discussion of #MeToo and non-binary transgender movements. Disclosing the historical causes for this repression on Aphrodite’s Island is crucial to the restoration of a universal worship of beauty as Self-empowered Self-containment. Bisexual figures unique to Cyprus with this unique characteristic have stumped archeologists in regards to the interpretation of their combined male--female genitalia.
This article is a localized universal cultural reclamation based on documentation of the lost origins of a self-empowered bisexual Mediterranean goddess, along with the first religion sourced in the marriage of gender opposites revived in the multimedia art of Umit Inatci, the global artist uniting Cyprus through his art of the sacred marriage.
The discovery disseminated in the international art world contextualizes the transgendered idols of worship from the geographical world within #MeToo and the rise of the global non-binary transgender movement. This speaks directly to “switching identity” as a methodology of appropriation as well as recovery.

The quest of this ancient “as above so below” praxis was the sacred marriage of opposites “so within, so without.”
The mutual agreement of this archetype of the hieros gamos as the 21st century icon by prophets Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung resulted in a feud over the structure: Pauli identified the configuration as the Seal of Solomon, while Jung insisted on the quaternity.
The performance apparatus, the bowl and striker, reflected the dual origin of the inquiry. Seeking a unified solution via a leap into Uncertainty. The kairos leap opened the Third passage by which the Science of Magic technology was subsequently delivered into the academy (Hermeneutics of New Modernism, Atropos 2014).
Illo Tempore: Confronting the Uncertainty Principle (5-24-2005) broke down the barriers between art, science and the humanities in the Third space of convergence between time/space/being.
This tripartite determination of the kairos leap reflects the holism of the hieros gamos automatically resolving the subject/object dichotomy via the conscious/unconscious drawing Heaven drawn down to Earth by means of the Yod as a function of timing (horoscope), space (Yod speculative objects) and being (the Kairos leap). This experiment revealed how Uncertainty can be incorporated into elective timed performance to co-create solutions to interdisciplinary problems; conscious performers are therefore co-create with the cosmos meta narratives of proactive change in personal/collective bodies.

The transmission of this constellating archetype from the personal to the universal was through the application of a symbol via astrological timing. This paper suggests that a millennial avant-garde art practice based on correspondences between planetary cycles and the visual manifestation of Pauli’s “invisible, potential form of reality” heals the split in the humanities by innovating its own self-reflecting contained structures, operating beyond any existing theory or practice. This paper was presented bat the 2011 Society Conference on Science and Art
Brandenburg Institute in Berlin.

Lurching into its fourth wave through the eruption of a new gender war in the contentious US election, the movement can no longer blame the patriarchy for its own shortcomings. It is time for feminist warriors on the front lines to face their shadow; the embodiment of their own reductionist dualism critique within the framework of the politically correct straightjacket governing Neo-Liberal society for over two decades.
The degree to which the echo chamber between the binary “talking heads” of the corporate media and faulty polling mechanisms demonstrated how decades of the politically correct social standard triggered the Trumped up collective body during the US election is shocking: lacking new philosophical input, the movement —which now includes many men —is reduced to the slap of dismissive labels – sexist, misogynist, racist, Alt-right or whatever else doesn’t fit into socially prescribed thinking. In this battle, there is no room for truth, never mind the Deleusian-Gautteri “Thousand Plateaus” beyond the binary imposed by the corporate elite.
A Deleuzian observer may surmise that what lies ahead is the path to a transgender embodiment —in the individual and collective — as a magnetic force balancing the opposites. This elevated position reflects an avant-garde value of gender as fluid relation between opposites. The Deleuzian-Guattari marriage provides a needed perspective of the present day battle for equality in which the internalized feminist vocabulary are projected outwards as media missives. The offspring of this marriage is a language that effectively circumnavigates binary reductionism of the military industrial complex responsible for the proliferation of the Ad Hominem attack in a sound bite or Twitter rant characterizing the 2016 election.

The Twin Towers destruction on the date identifying the disaster reflects the destruction of the binary. Indeed, 9/11 is a key date in the occult calendar. It marks the dual pillars of the Temple as the passage to wisdom, thereby provoking the charge among conspiracy theorists that the timing of destruction wasn’t a synchronicity but pre-planned as an “inside job.”
This “Truther” notion tells us something crucial about the meaning of the Twin Towers destruction in the culture. The binary of two global economic systems shattered by the fall of the Soviet Union created a chaos that gave rise to a hidden threat: terrorism. Cut loose from the geopolitical binary, the enemy of the 360 perspective is the Shadow guarding the Third (Streitfeld 2014). The post-9/11 world became a far more uncertain place. Yet, this Uncertainty is where we find the buried treasure.

The time and place to introduce a new " Science of Magic " with its forbidden apparatus into the academy has never been better. Conspiracy theories surrounding Paul McCartney have been ramped up after the release of his new album Egypt Station and triumphant Freshen Up World Tour ending in July, while a virtual stream of mediology phenomenology (here is one from Revolver where the band's transformation began) about The Beatles' creative process keeps the online investigations fresh. There is always something new to discover, which keeps the discussion open-ended. This article will examine the evolution of PID over the past half century to its current digital status in relation to other conspiracy theories: Sept 11 as an "inside job;" the JFK assassination; the ritual murder of Princess Diana; and QAnon examined by Ethan Zuckerman in the first installment of JoDS #6: Unreal. In order to make effective comparisons, hermeneutics apparatus (astrology, numerology, alchemy) pioneered in the European Graduate School laboratory will be utilized to explore eight topics: tech, bibles, origins, hermeneutics, semiotics, phenomenology, Gesamtkunstwerk and metaphysics.

Heidegger left it to the arts to resolve the matter of a holistic ontology of Being. In 2020, this sentience reflects the leap in quantum physics characterizing a new decade of inner/outer space exploration. Antiquated interpretations of the Copenhagen Collapse as contingent on the consciousness of a physical observer brings us into the Age of Entanglement. New leaps towards holism in quantum physics, along with recent cross-disciplinary breakthroughs in the academy, are rapidly transforming this debate into a new pedagogy requiring an integral perspective for hermeneutics reflecting the inner/outer process identified by philosophy as the Möbius strip. This paper presents a decade of groundbreaking experimental electronic arts mattering/mothering the sentient/spectral as a contemporary praxis incorporating ancient technologies synchronizing human co-creation with the rotational movements and interrelationships of heavenly bodies. The ontological ART-I-FACT of an ancient praxis of the hieros gamos (sacred marriage) is rendered a new constant of the Intergender Third via the wedding of biological corps to electronic corpus, demonstrating The Science of Magic methodology operates in the Third Space between cosmos and psyche.

From freak (reality) shows, horror flicks, and the scholarship of vampirism to new agey re-creations of religious cults, on-line spiritual healing and pop-star worship, we live in an age where the often- separated realms of magic and media intersect in phantasmagoric ways, exposing fragments of our chaotic humanity, cultural diversity and limbo existence.

"Übermensch: Salomé, Nietzsche & the Ages of Aquarius" is a comprehensive excavation of a "will to power" only made possible through the occult apparatus which Schopenhauer proclaimed as the basis for a new philosophy. The occult tools of numerology, astrology, and alchemy are applied to the phenomenology surrounding Nietzsche's love affair with Lou Salomé to establish ontological proof for the re-enactment of the Sumerian rite of the hieros gamos (the sacred marriage). The recurrence of the pre-patriarchal mythology within an Aquarian mythology of equal partnership is itself a reflection of the cosmology of the 1882 Venus Transit of the Sun, returning in 2012 as the ontology for this paper commenced.
The apparatus is revealed in the coding of the title: Übermensch is the Third entity, a literary marriage of Über/Mensch. The archetype associated with the Third entity reflects a paradigm shift from linear time (which uses number as a tool) to cyclical time (which honors the autonomy of number). Within this holistic perspective, “Übermensch” is Nietzsche's encoding through the rhythmic language of Thus Spoke Zarathustra of the ancient symbol of the Ouroboros.
The conversion of Nietzsche from scholar to poet/prophet took place during the crucial 1882 pregnancy (nine months) that led to the advent of a new religion based on the integration of opposites. From the Spring Equinox to the Winter Solstice and the December 7 conjunction of Venus with the Sun, Nietzsche created the operatic phenomenology that would make Lou Salomé his human projection of the Übermensch while revealing the timing of their brief but profound leap into the hieros gamos as the cosmology of the descent and return (of Venus).
In creating an Aquarian icon out of Salomé, Nietzsche lobbed his new science into the midst of the 20th century. Laurence Rickels connects the 1882 Dreieinigkeit of Nietzsche/Salomé/Rée to Nietzsche’s earlier establishment of a portal for the emergence of his intellectual Doppelgänger. Rickels’ resulting "Perse-phone Bobbin" theory establishes the medial woman as the dual sender/receiver of occult signals. I follow Salomé's conversion from Nietzsche's student to philosopher through the Rickelsian version of the famous fort/da game as her passage, beginning in 1882, from Nietzsche to Freud. In 1912 Salomé reinvented the Dreieinigkeit as the Oedipal triad of mother (Salomé), father (Freud) and son (Tausk). The inspiration for this new balanced construction in her Perse-phone rebound from Nietzsche to Freud can be found in her 1914 masterwork: “The Devil and his Grandmother.” In this hybrid work, stitching theater to the new celluloid medium, Salomé rescues the devil from Christian associations with evil by reclaiming the original association of this proactive force with the Morning Star. Her deconstruction of the Christian symbolic structure, which she commenced with Nietzsche, was now complete.
Yet, Salomé’s return in 1912 as a member of Freud's circle coincided with the departure of Sabina Spielrein. In resurrecting the mythology of Morning Star, this study was obligated to do the same with Hesperus, the Evening Star. In fact, the reflective inward face of Venus was personified by Spielrein, the “pure player,” who overcame her situation as Jung's patient and mistress to become the Rickelsian "Bobbin" entering Freud's circle with a new (r)evolutionary theorem: "Destruction as the Cause of Becoming". Dismissed by the one-sidedness of patriarchal thinking at the time as a projected excess of ambivalence, Spielrein's dual force of destruction/creation is newly defined by this study in terms of the Shakti/Kundalini. While this force of unity in the tension of duality entered continental philosophy from Hindu philosophy as Schopenhauer’s will, it was stowaway in psychoanalysis with the rise, fall, and reinvention of Carl Jung, who received the unity of the collective unconscious out of the depths from his sexual relation with Spielrein.

A trans media epic narrative is filtered through a philosophical “entanglement” in four stages: Homo Generator of Artificial Life; the Conversión; Kairos and Eternal Return.

From freak (reality) shows, horror flicks, and the scholarship of vampirism to new agey re-creations of religious cults, on-line spiritual healing and pop-star worship, we live in an age where the often- separated realms of magic and media intersect in phantasmagoric ways, exposing fragments of our chaotic humanity, cultural diversity and limbo existence. The panelists gathered for their distinctive interpretation of a new media culture, while the panel charts an arc of psychoanalysis as a way to newly define the relationship between magic and media.
