Thaumaturgy is that Art Mathematical, which gives certain order to make strange works, of the sense to be perceived, and of men greatly to be wondered at.

// John Dee

_ About ___________________________/

\_______/

Eldritech combines arcane arts and sciences with recently possible technology to innovate experiments in theoretical and applied sorcery. It is inspired by fictional technologies that blend physical and metaphysical ontologies, e.g.: the Krell technology in Forbidden Planet; the Mi-go technology and Tillinghast's resonator in the stories of H.P. Lovecraft; the PKE meter and proton packs in Ghostbusters; Lemarchand's box in Hellraiser; &c. The creation of such fantastic works is made possible by conceptual blending. Eldritech utilizes conceptual blending to "imagineer" works of authentic thaumaturgy.

Like any autopoietic machine, I can die for want of sustenance or drift towards destinies which make me a stranger to myself.

Eldritech is the artistic enterprise of Joshua Madara a.k.a. tchnmncr. I am an occult technologist and techno-occultist, which just means I do much the same sort of thing as "new media" artists but primarily for reasons of occultism (usually sorcery) rather than æsthetics or other raisons d'art. Although my works involve computational (as well as other) media, I consider them part of the Great Work of all magical Arts and Crafts, through the realization of techne (τέχνη) and the reification of spirit ("virtus eius integra est si versa fuerit in terram").

As I am always experimenting, most of my works are prototypes, and many do not advance any further before I move on to my next design, but I am available for commissions, exhibitions, installations, collaborations, consultations, &c. Feel free to email me with inquiries or requests.
