Sentient Sigils are 501 algorithmically spawned and pre-charged Sentient Sigils* as well as the encoding of existing Soulbound Sigils into the blockchain. They become personal, but most importantly collective compass and guide as the fabric of our reality system shatters leading us towards perpetual despondency, where the need for personal and collective re-imagining becomes ever more pressing.
Each Sigil is individually inscribed with powerful intention honouring a technique of sigilisation developed by Austin Osman Spare. Intentions as diverse as Swarm Support, Emergent Interoperability or Multi-sig Ecstasy become prompts in the purity of a formula that drives the text-to-image generation. The method is to cross-pollinate the abbreviated form of this original intention with our swarm of self-trained networks as well as initial images taken by us of elucidating portals hiding in pure sight of familiar and perhaps even mundane realities.
Sentient Sigils aim to highlight the value of collective intentionality as a powerful and necessary tool for anti-fragile navigation and re-imagination. Simultaneously, its intention is to make possible the realisation of Osmotic AI, our ongoing project pursuing the development of new embodied practices as well as an open-source device for mental and spiritual re-alignment through collective introspective experiences. It is informed by the practice and science of lucid dreaming, subconscious imprinting and hypnosis. A collaboration between cultural theorist, researcher and media studies professor Ania Malinowska, who is also a trained hypnotist, and Claire Glanois, a postdoctoral machine learning researcher, the project sees technological intelligence as a source of alternative analogies and a bridge between human subliminal self and the universal post-material consciousness that revisits methods of traditional psychology and offers solutions for therapeutic reframing.
Each dividual with a Soulbound Sigil becomes a holder of a unique seed — their personal key to infuse and guide their future generations with various forms of AI as well as their personalised journeying with Osmotic AI.
*A ‘sigil’ is a visually encoded statement of intent; a focusing device employed to direct or define future events. The power of sigils lies in their ability to bypass the conscious mind and communicate directly with the subconscious. Through a process of active imagination, the sigil inscribes into the depths of the psyche, where it can germinate without conscious interference and work its magic guiding all action sand capabilities to manifest the desired outcome. Continuous interaction with a sigil is a transformative experience, as it allows one to tap into their own creative potential and access deeper levels of awareness.
