Old Earth: Reactivation Sequence #5
2010
Old Earth: Reactivation Sequence #5 (2025 reactivation) is a vibrant techno-occult collage from the original Old Earth Objects transmedia system. It fuses youthful consumer promotion, corporate spectacle, and industrial symbols into a ritualistic vision that collapses the bright surface of late-capitalist advertising into something devotional and unsettling. This work reactivates the project’s core investigation into Techno-Occultism, Technological Macabre, Future-Primitivism, and ritual technology — exposing the hidden erotic, devotional, and occult energies latent within everyday branded objects and commercial spectacle.
