… it transforms. That same mini-book also has popups of Orpheus and Cerebrus.
We can imagine using devices like these as ritual tools or occult objects. Volvelles could be used for divination, or as ciphers, or to calculate significant numbers, or mark the phases or states of a thing. Sliding panels can demonstrate change and transformation, or comparison, in engaging ways. A talismanic pop-up within a book could become an altar piece for works described or entailed by the book, or it could even transform the book into a portable altar. It could be a material component of interfacing with an occult entity, or it could give tertiary dimensionality to a model of some place to be visited astrally.
Hi HyperRitual,
excellent presentation so far. I think that the figure from Matthew Reinhart & Robert Sabuda’s Encyclopaedia Mythologica volume, Dragons & Monsters, is the Medusa and not the Sphinx. I’m not 100% certain about this, but I can deduct it from her snakey hair.
Keep up with the great work,
Plethon.
Hi, Nick. Thanks for taking time to check out my work. Look at the lower-right corner of the book; that is the transition I am referring to in the speech/text. :-)
Right, I get it now, thank you for pointing it out. I have finished watching the slide show and I find it brilliant. It does motivate to go out and start doing, creating, interacting… Please produce more work like this, we’re so thirsty for this kind of quality.
Cheers, man!
