The Masterclass Networked Rites & the Quest for Morphic Fields of Compassion (11-17 August ) brings together transdisciplinary artists and researchers who collectively explore ritualistic and cybernetic art forms, utilising the island's ancient mythology and the local ceremony of the Holy Snakes of Mary to produce a digital entity – a prototype morphic field.

The Project
The masterclass explores the shamanic and cybernetic systems of rituals that sustain transformation, and the impact of ritualistic art forms. Divided into groups, the participants engage with the island's geographical body, serpent mythology and ceremony through daily ritual protocol and feedback. Immersion in 5 unique channels/holons of vision, sound, text, movement and intention/compassion culminates in the discovery of the group-mind's creative DNA which is then embedded in a morphic field via networked rite.
