SERAPHIC DECORATIVE CATALOGUE
SYNDROM IX
{REPTILAIN MOSQUE}
A compiled sonic archive landscaping the post-truth semiotics of neo-pagan vloggers [mainly YouTube iconoclasts] imagined as upgraded t.v. evangelists. Influencers donning tinfoil fedoras begin to embody prophetic voices in overdriven algo-chambers; professing sermons of conspiratorial theorem oft widely disseminated despite being pseudo-authoritative. Such divinations promulgated en masse, begin to degenerate trust in academic authority and intellectual integrity, grinding common sense to a pulp and destabilizing many [taken for granted] faculties of reality.
These eerie vocal soundbites, lifted from various sources including buzzfeed, youtube, liveleak, select news sources etc. were then overlaid by blasting drum music, deconstructed club interludes, gregorian chants, first person shooter soundtracks (& fx), musique concrète, and ripped Young Thug Freestyles [lean-sipping and murderous on youtube]. Seraphic Decorative Catalogue is a mix as prolepsis; a cut-up bricolage of an a-temporal mediascape. c.2016
