Following the Adrenochrome link
A recent drop on twitter pointing to @adrenochrome_adc led us to the video: for adrenochrome.net (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=1LymheLeB5o) and the YouTube for Natalie Lambert (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtDwEjZ2w7SacSalnuRN5QA). Someone else dug up her site:

I noticed down at the bottom of the links column on the left the word "HYBRID" which immediately caught my attention. I don't really have a great feel about this one u guize.
https://www.pakuihardware.org/index.php?/ongoing/inter-format-symposium-on-hybrid-natures/ led me to https://nidacolony.lt/en/projects/symposium/inter-format-symposium-2016 (now looking at https://nidacolony.lt/en/projects/symposium/inter-format-symposium-2018 featuring a treasure trove of occultic keywords as: "Roots, neopagan, traditional knowledges, ethno-futurism, digital shamanism, eco-sex, ethno-appropriation, authenticity, contemporary pantheism, (re)constructed pasts, indigenous futures, northern ecologies, pagan anthropocene, feminist pedagogies, engineered indigeneity, seasonal sensibility, xenophobic rootedness, cyber-paganism." LORD help us back to 2016 for now...)
Excerpt: ''"If the image of the Curonian Spit comes up as an ideal natural environment, it would be useful to revisit Bruno Latour’s essay “We Have Never Been Modern” (1991).
...
The Curonian Spit is one such hybrid: its body consists of both nature and culture, which has been using technology for centuries to plant forests and shape the terrain, joined by underwater hybid creatures generating the energy for conce(rn)(ntrate)s of capital and politics.
During the symposium, walks, sounds, performances, collective readings and talks will serve as vehicles for encountering various hybrids, species of plankton, beetles as media, heterogeneous geological states and cyberbiological bodies, and tangible digital environments."''
(link to We Have Never Been Modern - Bruno Latour (English Translation) cited above: https://monoskop.org/images/e/e4/Latour_Bruno_We_Have_Never_Been_Modern.pdf; strange wording here - 1.1 draws faint lines between concepts such as "the Paris AIDS virus", Antarctica, "tissue cultures," "esoteric sciences," and other stuff. I don't have time to keep digging in this particular essay)
From the I 2016 symposium, I followed the link to their facebook photo gallery (here: https://www.facebook.com/NidaArtColony/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1206941679340604.) I grabbed a couple shots, and I'll attach a few of the most notable (to me) ones here (including the red shoed witch doing some "performance" on a nude beach and what looks like potentially body armor for giants).

https://www.pakuihardware.org/index.php?/works/deep-skin-snolab-2015/ This one really got my OMGNEPHILIM gears turning. Excerpt:
"DEEP SKIN, the deepest underground art exhibition in history, took place at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNOlab), a particle physics research laboratory situated 2100 meters underground in Northern Ontario, Canada.
The lab's extreme underground location in the Creighton Nickel Mine (the world's second deepest mine outside of South Africa) is situated so as to shield sensitive experiments from cosmic rays and background radiation, essential for studying subatomic particles such as neutrinos. Overall, the facility has a muon flux of less than 0.27 ?/m² per day.
The lab is reached via the mine's elevator, which fully descends in only 2 minutes. The 2100 meter granitic rock overburden corresponds to a 6010 meter water equivalent and the rapid change in pressure can cause some visitors to experience vertigo and severe otalgia. The ambient rock temperature at this depth is 42 degrees celsius.
From the elevator, visitors must walk down a 1.8 kilometer drift (mine cavern) in order to reach the lab. The entrance is a transitional region from the dirty mine environment to a 'CLASS 2000' clean room laboratory (meaning that it is extremely clean with very low levels of dust). Showers, headgear, lab suits and air showers are mandatory before entering the space. Furthermore, several of the exhibition's artworks were vacuum-packed in order to comply with the stringent security and cleanliness protocols of the SNOlab."

And that's about where I'm going to leave it for now. I might take another crack at it later on. I need to eat and have other domestic stuff to take care of. You know what to do.
Happy digging, anons!
