MFRU31: Technologie und Unheimliche: The Tele-Evangelical Transmission of SIRIUS.EXE 2.0

As an extension of the installation, SIRIUS.EXE 2.0 features a lecture-performance by poet and critic Márió Z. Nemes and art writer-curator Zsolt Miklósvölgyi. Conceived as both critical exposition and performative supplement, it merges theoretical discourse with the aesthetics of tele-evangelist broadcasting. The duo situates the project within philosophical and cultural constellations – from Gnostic cosmologies and cybernetic eschatologies to debates on mythopoesis and post-digital ritual – asking how digital imaginaries, through code and networked infrastructures, revive transcendental narratives. Drawing on speculative realism, media theory, and esoteric thought, they highlight software’s dual role as rational apparatus and generator of belief. Performed in the cadence of evangelist address, their lecture conflates academic analysis with prophetic proclamation, reframing inquiry as ritual and enacting the logic of executable faith at the core of SIRIUS.EXE 2.0.

The 31st edition of International Festival of Computer Art (MFRU31) entitled Esoteric Ecotechnics. Irrational Computation and Conspiratorial Networking, focuses on underground and secret connections between media technologies, users, knowledge and information circulation. More: https://www.mfru.org/
