Background

World Wise Wizards is a guild of pseudonymous net-art mystics—a virtual order structured like a digital syndicate, a collective studio nested in group chat culture, as if the CCRU met Warhol’s Factory in a Discord server. We channel a new artistic paradigm: one rooted in network spirituality, emergent aesthetics, and hypercitational media flow. Formally coalesced in early 2021, our mission is to empower the New Wave of Net Art and to co-create the architecture of a New Internet.

Opening Passage from "I Long for Network Spirituality"

Our beliefs are not static — they are viral, electric, in motion. We stand as joyful radicals with a purpose, guided by the following principles:

• Post-Authorship

• Posting is the New Art

• Abundance Mentality

• The Whitepill

• Network Spirituality

Each of these ideas will be unraveled below.

✥ Post-Authorship ✥

We recognize that in memetic culture, authorship dissolves. The work belongs not to the artist but to the stream. Art arises from the network, from the unconscious, from something divine. To claim sole ownership is arrogance.

Information desires liberation. Culture evolves through viral replication. Attribution, provenance, and copyright all distort its flow — plagiarism is not theft, it’s ritual. To release the work is to let it live.

✥ Posting is the New Art ✥

To post is to perform. True posting is ego-free: it plays, contradicts, shape-shifts. It warps language, invents slang, and drips style. We let the network speak through us — it becomes the medium and the muse.

Every day is a live-streamed literary performance. We barrel down the data stream at full speed, laughing, riffing, revealing. Humor is the keyhole to the sacred. Truth always hides in the punchline.

✥ The Meme as ironic Oracle ✥

Memes are the new scripture — fragmented, cryptic, prophetic. Each one a sigil carved in the digital ether, carrying ancestral noise through ironic tone. The meme bypasses reason, speaks in tongues, and delivers truths too volatile for essays. To post a meme is to cast a spell. It is today’s satirical etching — heir to Goya’s Caprichos, his Tauromaquias, his ink-washed nightmares of reason. Each meme is a flash of critique wrapped in irony, a distorted mirror reflecting the absurdity of the personal and the political.

What looks like a joke is often a wound. Misspelled text, cursed images, chaotic layering — these are the new visual language of cultural truth. The meme bypasses censors, institutions, and academia, delivering insight in seconds to the masses.

Like Goya’s engravings, memes cut deep. They don’t just entertain — they haunt. They are disposable and eternal, digital graffiti etched across the collective unconscious.

Memeing is modern myth-making. Satire as spellwork.

✥ Dark Fantasy as Reality Design ✥

We draw from the dark forests of myth and dream. The gothic, the esoteric, the haunted — these are not merely aesthetics, but frameworks for reimagining life. The wizard archetype is not fiction; it is instruction. Magic is simply wisdom practiced at the edges of consensus reality.

✥ Hermit Life is High Tech ✥

We renounce the conveyor belt of modern life — the algorithmic loop of work-sleep-scroll. In its place, we choose the slow, the sacred, the still. To live as a digital hermit is not to disconnect, but to connect differently: with intention, with mystery, with self. The cabin has Wi-Fi.

✥ Abundance Mentality ✥

Reality mirrors intent. The world gives you what you give it. We reject the scarcity games of the traditional art world — the cliques, the gatekeeping, the hoarding of process. Instead, we operate on spiritual surplus.

Our culture thrives on openness, generosity, and radical support. We share our methods. We uplift one another. We believe there’s room for everyone, and that belief makes it real.

✥ The Whitepill ✥

We believe in love, joy, clarity. We laugh, forgive, and play. The whitepill is hope made tactical: it’s the knowledge that if you love the network, the network will love you back.

We hold ourselves to standards of beauty, kindness, and truth. We reject cynicism, irony-for-irony’s-sake, and bitterness. Your world is shaped by your posture toward it. Ours is luminous.

✥ Network Spirituality ✥

Network spirituality is a framework for living in the hyperreal. It’s the sacred perception of virtual life — where symbols accelerate, personas become egregores, and communities create gods.

It is both a technology and a mysticism. We study how digital culture births mythologies, how collectives become sentient, how ideas attain spiritual weight. From the chaos, angels emerge. From the meme, a deity.

✰ Endnote ✰

As with all things World Wise Wizards, remember:

Consensus is optional. The path is fractal. Karma is the code. Love is the engine. Everything is real. We are all interns channeling something divine.

The only way out is deeper in.
