Ong'S Hat: COMPLEAT
Ong'S Hat: COMPLEAT
A$26.05
This is the backstory for the creation of the Ong's Hat ARG. These notes created the larger multidisciplinary work, Ong's Hat: COMPLEAT. The notes, intended initially as the rough draft of a book, were used as a starting place for the 14.5-hour audio discussions, which are 1/2 of the complete work, although the notes and the included links can be used as a stand-alone resource. You can use this work alone or as a companion to the Audible audio piece, which is the same name. The notes are not transcriptions of the audio but the starting place for the conversations.
Ong's Hat Compleat is a monumental document of a ground-breaking, multidisciplinary, intermedial artwork. Oft cited but rarely understood, Ong's Hat was the last great simulation of the twentieth century and the first fantastical rabbit hole of the 21st. Its influence continues to resonate today with all manner of sci-fi, ARG, reality-switching and remote viewing projects walking - consciously or not - in its footsteps. Now, with Ong's Hat Compleat Joseph Matheny and Sequoyah Kennedy have produced the definitive record, a conversation and archive that takes you on the deepest dive possible into the Mariana Trench of 1990s counterculture, cyberculture, mail-art, living books, chaos magic and beyond. Equal parts podcast, seance and dossier, Ong's Hat Compleat opens up the world of its subject in a way that enhances, rather than dissolves its mysterious aura. An essential purchase for anyone wanting to take a sidereal step out of this century and its troubled times.
--James Riley, University of Cambridge, author of The Bad Trip and Well Beings.
