Allies are very important to that of the BoC in terms of breeding its central nodes of aesthetic praxis: VIBRATIONAL CATHEXTION, ONTO-DE-TEMPORAL SCHEMA, and ONTO-IMAGE IMPLOSION (GROUPE DE OBJET)

I'm pleased to announce a new BoC ally from Barcelona: [OVNI - Observatori de V ídeo No Identificat] [UFO - Unknown Frame Observatory]

like glowlab (www.glowlab.com) i believe this ally could play a large role in international onto-praxis.

here is a description of OVNI:

The Observatory Archives are intentional in nature and organised around specific themes, bringing together
material that supports a critique of contemporary culture through different approaches such as video art,
independent documentary, media archaeology, etc ...

Although the archives include a whole constellation of very different works, they all share a commitment to
free expression, and reflect upon our `individual and collective fears and pleasures. Together, they create
a multifaceted vision, thousands of small eyes probing and exploring our world and proclaiming other possible
worlds. A discourse that values heterogeneity, plurality, contradiction and subjectivity; an antidote to the
cloning and repetition of corporate mass media.
Some of the Observatory Archives thematic areas include:

//*Identity and MassMedia.

/*Death
Culture and experience. Rituals. Audiovisual projects and found footage.

//*Trance rituals - Religion
edited videos, camera tapes or found footage that document trance rituals (dikr, haddras, Santeria, voodoo , preachers,...etc).

//*Cities - Portraits of cities
scenes from daily life, home, the workplace, memories...

//*Machine Zone
Deconstruction of technology, machine conspiracy, digital euphoria, corporate vandalism.

//*Dream Archives
Stories of dreams, the imaginary of an age, desires, conflicts, madness, pleasures...etc.

//*Inner Experience

indirectly related to the work of these authors.


//*Heterodoxies and Autonomous Zones

paradise. Europe-Maghreb, USA-Latin America.

//*Work and ideology - Work and capital

//*Babylon Archives
