Spell Cards for All Occasions

‘Our world is a complex matrix of vibrating energy, matter and air, just as we are made of vibrations. Vibration connects us with all beings and connects us to all things interdependently.’ – Pauline Oliveros

For the publication of Quantum Listening by Pauline Oliveros, artist Aura Satz has created Tuning Fork Spells, a series of drawings made through a meditative process of attention and attunement. Ignota presents a series of spell cards created from these drawings, each with a meditative quote by Oliveros on the reverse. Perfect for use as greeting cards this holiday season, the spell cards are available as a set and bundled with the book.

 

 

Hot off the press 🔥 

Air Age Blueprint, Longsleeve and Bundle

Newly published! A young filmmaker’s life is disrupted by a fated encounter with a Peruvian healer. Called to twin paths of artistic creation and mystic truth-seeking, they set out on a transcontinental journey. In the Pacific Northwest they meet K, a double agent working between art and technology, who invites them to test a secret program called Shaman.AI. This human-machine experiment, rooted in magic, produces a key to rewriting reality – a manifesto describing how entangled human and non-human intelligence will remake our technologies, identities and deepest beliefs.

Allado-McDowell (along with their AI writing partner GPT-3) weave fiction, memoir, theory and travelogue into an animist cybernetics – an air age blueprint.

Also available bundled with the Air Age Blueprint Longsleeve, a 100% cotton, jersey knit longsleeve features artwork by Somnath Bhatt. Unisex, classic fit, ribbed collar, taped neck and shoulders, cuffed sleeves. 

Terra Ignota Non-Denominational Stocking Fillers

Iconic texts Quantum Listening by Pauline Oliveros and The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction by Ursula K. Le Guin are perfectly sized gifts – pocket volumes filled with huge ideas. 

In the influential essay The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, visionary author Ursula K. Le Guin tells the story of human origin by redefining technology as a cultural carrier bag rather than a weapon of domination.

Quantum Listening is renowned musician Pauline Oliveros’s manifesto for listening as activism. Through simple yet profound exercises, Oliveros shows how Deep Listening is the foundation for a radically transformed social matrix: one in which compassion and peace form the basis for our actions in the world.
