Die! Mythographer, Die! "Most history, when it has been digested by a people, becomes myth. Myth is an arrangement of the past, whether real or imagined, in patterns that resonate with a culture's deepest values and aspirations. Myths create and reinforce archetypes so taken for granted, so seemingly axiomatic, that they go unchallenged.

Epitome & Odds & Ends "...Magic preceded technique - in fact, ...magic is the first expression of technique...we are unaware even today, as we study technique - the techniques that relate to men - that we are drawing on the great stream of magical techniques ." -Jacques Ellul, The Technological Society, 1954, page 25.

The surreal and the sacred
archaic, occult, and daemonic elements in modern art, 1914-1940 Surrealism is examined through its history and phenomenology. The frame of reference is shifted from the history of art to the history of religions; the premises of modern art historiography examined; and Surrealism placed within an interdisciplinary context. The conjunction between the Surreal and the sacred is developed through the phenomenological clues of the uncanny, the weird, and the irrational--popular perceptions of the Surreal.

POLITICAL ART IS POINTLESS
Many modern artists and architects continue to imagine and build the world technologically. Their beliefs remain firmly rooted in their assumption that the liberating forces of technology freed them from previous artistic traditions while making available vast means of production and a plethora of materials.

The tides of time and the winds of fate
Where is the shore that was previously here? All has shifted, and all is no more. The lines that are drawn have blurred and disappeared, grasping at air, in despair, wind torn and forlorn.

History or Mystery?
Historians of the Age Look to the musty and vacant spaces of learning. The physical will always hold truth. The virtual is a lie.
