Description:A real-life fairy tale about alternate realities, the early Internet, synchronicity, and spooky AI phenomenon. This is the backstory behind the creation of the Ong's Hat ARG, forming the foundation for the multidisciplinary project
Ong's COMPLEAT
. Originally conceived as a rough draft for a book, these notes became the starting point for 14.5 hours of audio discussions, which make up half of the complete work. While these notes and their included links can stand alone as a resource, they also serve as a companion to the audio series of the same name.The notes are not direct audio transcriptions but instead serve as the foundation for the discussions. The audio portion of this project is available for purchase on Audible via Amazon or directly on the Audible site. Together, this book and the audiobook form the complete work.This is the previously untold backstory of Ong's Hat, the infinite game, and proto-ARG. It weaves together early rudimentary Artificial Intelligence (AI), encounters with disembodied intelligence, emergence, and the budding Internet culture of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Elements of psychedelic culture, Avant Garde art, punk rock, industrial music, experimental theater, improv, method acting, hermetic magick, beat literature, Esalen, the works of Philip K. Dick, and more converge to create this modern tale of a spiritual quest.---Ong's Hat Compleat is a monumental document of a ground-breaking, multidisciplinary, intermedial artwork. Oft cited but rarely understood, Ong's Hat was the last great simulation of the twentieth century and the first fantastical rabbit hole of the twenty-first. Its influence continues to resonate today with all manner of sci-fi, ARG, reality-switching and remote viewing projects walking - consciously or not - in its footsteps. Now, with Ong's Hat Compleat Joseph Matheny and Sequoyah Kennedy have produced the definitive record, a conversation and archive that takes you on the deepest dive possible into the Mariana Trench of 1990s counterculture, cyberculture, mail-art, living books, chaos magic and beyond. Equal parts podcast, seance and dossier, Ong's Hat Compleat opens up the world of its subject in a way that enhances, rather than dissolves its mysterious aura. An essential purchase for anyone wanting to take a sidereal step out of this century and its troubled times. ---James Riley, University of Cambridge, author of The Bad Trip and Well Beings.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
