Sigils & Media

I know many folks here are interested in chaos magick/sigils for various reasons, and wanted to see what the consensus was regarding the following:

Building on the idea of the meme as a virus, consider the possibilities of a sigilized meme utilzed to both memetic AND magickal effect. Sort of a "two birds with one stone" concept, something that would function on several levels but with the same goal. Now take that idea and deploy it through a pop media vector: maybe something as basic as a T-shirt design, graffiti or sticker.

I thought that with the current state of affairs at home and abroad, this might be something that could be used to effect a gradual shift in perception, sort of a "subversion-as-innoculation" antidote to mass media wartime propaganda.

Just a thought mind you. Comments?

Mord@ant Carnival directed two projects with the concept of using memetics and chaos magick. The fisrt one we created an spell encoded in a chain letter (which did work), the second was to create a type of servitor/ghost in the internet with an spell encoded in it. We did not finish that one. The threads must still be around, but I do not remember how they were named.

If you and the Barbelithian mages are up to another project (particularly with the objectives you mention) I'm in for it.
