[[File:EpiphenonoMAILnal-01.png]] In the workshop [*]epiphenoMAILnal : RITUALS OF EMAIL, we created an evolving dogma using simple text rules through email. Utilizing an email list, which broadcasts email to everyone on the list, each participant either sent a simple text rule or contributed a line to the dogma. But before we started, we went over the history of esoteric and sacred text together, as well as the history of email protocol, which is ancient (and even sacred) within the timescale of the internet. This ritual is done not just for the formulation of meaning but for the pictographic element of garbled text. Through this ritual we constructed the basis for a text based pictogram which is embodied in the email chain. This workshop was centred around demystyifing the protocol through mystification and word play. <gallery> File:EpiphenoMAILnal-01.jpg File:EpiphenoMAILnal-04.jpg File:EpiphenoMAILnal-05.jpg </gallery> '''Char Stiles''' is a multidisciplinary digital artist.
