Interactive Media for Occult Book Makers

Presentation Slide

Transparencies have been used for other book interactions. This Magic Window Storybook from the 1950s featured subtle cyan images obscured by red ink until you placed “Your Magic Window” i.e. red transparency over the picture, and then you can clearly see the cyan image. The same technique was later used for secret messages in comic books and such.

  1. 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.

      1. 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.
