Here's a link to GM's Disinfo interview which talks a bit about Pop Magick and business culture:
"... I've been obsessed with the corporate world--and the whole magic thing, I've been fed up with the occult, as you say, that whole aspect of it, and I just looked and I said, who's actually using magic? It's the corporations, they're doing it all the time--the NLP seminars, all that, if you listen to those management training tapes, they're fucking weird! And they’re using logos, they're using these incredibly powerful sigils to colonize imaginary space and media space. These guys are actually using magic in plain sight, and no-one knows what they're doing! They're using big-scale, world-changing magic, so I thought, well I'll get into some of that. And I've been doing rituals for two corporate entities now, and trying to do things with that, seeing how you can contact them and deal with them and what kind of bargains you can make with them . . ."
Also check out the Douglas Rushkoff interview in the Disinfo Interviews book (unfortunately it's not been reprinted on disinfo.com). He's another corporate infiltrator, seeding advertising with couter-culture magick.
I'm still not sure how I feel about this... |
