BLACK LODGE

Year 2016. Vilnius, Lithuania. 'Vilniaus Vartu Meno Erdve'. Name of the location translates as 'Vilnius Gates' Art Space'. The building is located in the new district of Vilnius, where in recent years many skyscrapers had risen. It is a total opposition of the other side of the Neris river - the oldtown. Here the glass and metal constructions rule it all. Many hate this side of the river for lack of authenticity, which is so praised by conservative Lithuanians. Others are proud, as the new growing business district signifies the growth of economy of the country. It is the most futuristic area of the city. This is where I decided to throw some Magick and organized Five Days of Rituals.

​"There is also a legend of a place called the Black Lodge: the shadow self of the White Lodge, a place of dark forces that pull on this world. A world of nightmares. Shamans reduced to crying children, angry spirits pouring from the woods, graves opening like flowers." ―Hawk
​

I named the event THE BLACK LODGE. It is a direct reference to 'Twin Peaks'.  Before coming to Lithuania I was in Holywood for three months and I wanted to bring some of that Holywood Magick to Lithuania. I wanted to create a movie of my own and I did.

OPERATION MIND FUCK

Picture
Installation COLLAPSED CAPITALISM by Shaltmira
OMF is a reference to OPERATION MINDFUCK. Operation Mindfuck is an important practice in discordianism. The concept was developed by Kerry Thornley and Robert Anton Wilson in 1968. The 1st operation mindfuck centered around the JFK assassination. In brief one of the aides to the DA looking at the case believed the assassination had been orchestrated by the Bavarian Illuminati. In response Kerry sent out a series of announcements claiming he (aka Lord Omar) was an agent of the B.I , this theme was picked up on by other willing operatives in the D.S . This lead to more such antics. They are most often manifested as a decentralized campaign of civil disobedience, activism, art movements, especially performance art and guerrilla art, culture jamming, graffiti and other vandalism, practical jokes, hoaxes, reality hacking, chaos magic, words of power, and anything else that is believed to bring about social change through disrupting paradigms and thus forcing the victim to question the parameters of one's reality tunnel.

THE ONLY STRATEGY WHICH AN OPPONENT CANNOT PREDICT IS A RANDOM STRATEGY

OM was originally instigated by Ho Chi Zen, of the Erisian Liberation Front, who is the same person but not the same individual as Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst, author of The Honest Book of Truth. The guiding philosophy is that originally proposed in The Theory of Games and Economic Behavior by von Neumann and Morgenstern: namely, that the only strategy which an opponent cannot predict is a random strategy. The foundation had already been laid by the late Malaclypse the Younger, K.S.C., when he proclaimed, "We Discordians must all stick apart." This radical decentralization of all Discordian enterprises created a built-in random factor even before Operation Mindfuck was proposed. To this day, neither Ho Chi Zen himself nor any other Discordian apostle knows for sure who is or is not involved in any phase of Operation Mindfuck or what activities they are or are not involved in as part of that project. Thus, the outsider is immediately trapped in a double-bind: the only safe assumption is that anything a Discordian does is somehow related to OM, but, since this leads directly to paranoia, this is not a "safe" assumption after all, and the "risky" hypothesis that whatever the Discordians are doing is harmless may be "safer" in the long run, perhaps. Every aspect of OM follows, or accentuates, this double-bind.

CONTROVERSY REIGNS


There is a disagreement among Discordians as to whether or not, through OM, they should seek to improve society, topple it or claim that the practice is in fact only for entertainment. Because much of Operation Mindfuck itself involves hyperbole and exaggeration in regard to discussing the Discordian Society, it is difficult to determine the actual scale of the campaign, be it large or practically non-existent.

In The Illuminatus! Trilogy, Operation Mindfuck is epitomized by a protagonist named Markoff Chaney, an anti-social dwarf who engages in subtle practical joking, in a deliberate attempt to cause Discord, as a protest against his mistreatment by society. One such joke involves the forging of signs that are signed by "The Mgt." (leading people to believe they're from "The Management" instead of "the Midget") that contain absurdities, and placing the signs in stores and other establishments.

​Shaltmira parjojo į Lietuvą. Nulipo nuo žirgo. Pakėlė adatą. Sėdo į Sostą. Ten ateis Gyvieji ir Mirusieji nusibausti.

Ženk į 11-ąją dimensiją - JUODĄJĄ LOŽĘ. 
Nenustebk pasijutus 23 metais senesne. Arba jaunesne. Priklausomai nuo to, ko tikiesi. Atsitiks priešingai. 
Ieškančios atsakymų jų neras. 
Tik nuotrupas: asmeninį Shaltmiros nuotraukų ir piešinių archyvą, liudijantį apie ankstesnius susidūrimus su Interdimensinėmis Būtybėmis. 
Praskleidus plastiko užuolaidas aptiksite pačią Shaltmirą. 
ŠŠ! 
Dešinėje rankoje ji laiko Magnetinį Instrumentą ir sau odoje raito kriptografinį piešinį.
Ar išdrįsi palįsti po adata? 
Ištiesk delną ir ji užrašys 23. 
Ar pakaks kraujo ir rašalo aukos prisikviesti geidaujamą Cherubinę? 
Tylos!
Nieko nesitikėk.
Dirba adata. 
Žmogus, kurio nėra, kampe spragsi pirštais.

Shaltmira. Eglė žalčių karalienė
​

Į susitikimą ji atėjo kaip juodoji karalienė. Arba, kaip pati įvardija, — lyg meno projektas. Prisipažinsiu, ne kartą šio interviu metu mano akys nuklysdavo Shaltmiros kūno detalių paviršiais. Eglė Tamulytė Shaltmira yra menininkė, grafikė, iliustratorė ir tatuiruočių meistrė, puikiai žinoma tarptautinėje erdvėje. Nors išorėje dominuoja juoda — jos asmenybė, priešingai, turi daug šviesių ir pozityvių spalvų.
