Welcome to Sigil Séance Against Space Billionaires, a protection ritual against "New Space" colonizing overlords and an exploration of peer-to-peer online gathering.

Our project started in 2021 with the first passenger flight of Jeff Bezos' space-tourism rocket New Shepard. This moment acted like a science-fictional vignette, highlighting the figure of the space-billionaire as the arch-villain of our era, a cartoonish character hoarding wealth on an incomprehensible scale, lifting fascistic ideology from sci-fi novels, and leaving a trail of death and destruction behind them. As a way to fight back and reclaim agency, we wanted to manifest a future where we simply "leave the billionaires in space" thereby protecting the Earth and her inhabitants from their toxic influence.

We turned to chaos magick and created a sigil generator that produces a graphical sign from a sentence such as "bind billionaires who fly to the upper sky from coming back to earth". Thanks to our séance peer-to-peer web-application, this sigil-making is part of an online collaborative ritual which is what we are inviting you to come and test with us. Let's write, charge, launch, and manifest sigils together!
