I can hear it as a very odd performance score and everyone off their tits on laudanum. </em><strong>\r\nEmma Bolland\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nA great deal of uncertainty—and even some genuine confusion—surrounds the origin, evolution, and activities of the so-called <i>Avis Tertia</i> or Order of the Third Bird. Sensational accounts of this “attentional cult” emphasise histrionic rituals, tragic trance-addictions, and the covert dissemination of obscurantist ontologies of the art object. Hieratic, ecstatic, and endlessly evasive, the Order attracts sensual misfits and cabalistic aesthetes—both to its ranks, and to its scholarship.\r\n\r\nIn recent years, however, the revisionist work of the research collective ESTAR(SER) has done much to clear the air, bringing archival precision to the history of this covey of attention-artists who call themselves The Birds. Gathering the best articles of the last twenty years of <i>The Proceedings of ESTAR(SER)</i>, this volume represents a landmark in the history of aesthetic practices, and will be a point of departure for future work wading the muddy marshes at the limits of historicism.\r\n\r\n<em>\"So what, exactly, ARE these nearly 800 heavily footnoted pages?

Since then Mark has continued to organise sporadic Strange Attractor events and to work on larger collaborative projects.\r\n\r\nIn <strong>2003</strong>, along with designer Ali Hutchinson, Mark edited and published <em>Strange Attractor Journal One</em>, an anthology (now out-of-print) of writing on neglected and esoteric cultural, historical and anthropological themes in keeping with the original events, that marked the first appearance of Strange Attractor Press.\r\n\r\nIn <strong>2010</strong>, after publishing six more books, the Press took on two new core members, Nadia Harrisz, as production director, and Frances Morgan, as co-publisher and editor. With our team in place, Strange Attractor Press plans to dramatically expand its publishing schedule, and to continue in its mission of celebrating unpopular culture.\r\n\r\n∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞\r\n\r\n<strong>A long history of Strange Attractor</strong>\r\n<strong>by Ken Hollings </strong>\r\n(published in <a href=\"http://www.thewire.co.uk/\"><em>The Wire</em></a> magazine #<a href=\"http://www.thewire.co.uk/issues/275/\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2695 alignright\" title=\"The Wire #275 January 2007\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/The-Wire-275-January-2007-244x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"244\" height=\"300\" /></a>, January 2007)\r\n\r\n<em>Ken Hollings rides the world’s subcultural currents mapped by London’s Strange Attractor.</em>\r\n\r\nStrange Attractor is well named. There’s really no escaping it. Starting out as a series of live events, it has slowly transmuted into an annual publication, set up an online clearing house for the weird and the wonderful and recently made its first move towards establishing itself as a publishing house. “Strange Attractor celebrates unpopular culture,” runs its mission statement. “We declare war on mediocrity and a pox on the foot soldiers of stupidity. Join us.” Who could possibly resist such a challenge? Sooner or later you have to get involved. (In the interests of full transparency: the writer of this article has taken part in a number of Strange Attractor evenings and is a regular contributor to Strange Attractor Journal.)\r\n\r\nWith orders for the Strange Attractor publications coming in from all over the world, and mainstream media like The Independent On Sunday praising it for producing “one of the most weirdly beautiful, beautifully weird magazines of the past hundred-odd years” a bigger problem presents itself. How do you celebrate unpopular culture without losing its unpopularity?\r\n\r\n“There’s certainly no business plan,” admits Strange Attractor Journal’s publisher and chief editor, Mark Pilkington. “We’re really making it all up as we go along. I hope thatStrange Attractor’s approach to culture is simultaneously that of the archaeologist, the ethnographer, the anthropologist, the occultist, the showman and the curator.”\r\n\r\nIt’s a heady mix. The first two issues, both book-sized anthologies running to more than 200 and 400 pages apiece, have presented material ranged across such elusive topics as mind control experiments, mould art, hair sculpture, cargo cults, neglected gods and forgotten waxworks. Such a list limits more than it clarifies, however. Strange Attractor Journal is concerned less with the unexplained than with the unexpected. You never know what it will cover next.\r\n\r\n“I think Strange Attractor is refreshing to people in that it manages to straddle several cultural channels while still following its own agenda,” Pilkington admits, “and it’s one not driven by the same obvious memes. But at the same time it’s important that it doesn’t become obscurantist for its own sake—some things are lost for a reason, others will only resurface when the time is right.”\r\n\r\nStrange Attractor’s wayward eclecticism dates back to a series of monthly events begun in the summer of 2001 by Pilkington in collaboration with artist John Lundberg and continuing over the next two years. Staged at London’s Horse Hospital venue, they gave an early indication of the loose network of experimental enterprises that was starting to come into existence, linking outsider artists with cultural anthropologists, textual hackers and practising occultists.\r\n\r\n“We’d mix talks, films, music, presentations, each night being themed around a different topic,” Pilkington recalls. “I rather pretentiously called them ‘information happenings’. Subjects ranged from conspiracy theory to theremins, Esperanto to magick, hoaxes, illusions and psychic deceptions: basically anything that interested us and could draw people that we liked or wanted to meet into one place.” Highlights included a live and bloody demonstration of psychic surgery, sci-fi movie themes played on vintage electronic instruments and a live Lovecraft-influenced Chaos Magick ritual with a soundtrack performed “by a band who couldn’t see what was going on.”\r\n\r\nAfter Lundberg enrolled at the National Film and Television School, Pilkington went solo but eventually grew tired of doing regular live events, deciding instead to do something that would last longer: hence the Journal.\r\n\r\nThe notion of outliving the moment, of being around for more than just a quick cultural fix, is very much a part of SAJ’s overall look and feel. The first thing you notice is that the front and back cover of each issue is devoid of text or title, which only appears on the book’s spine. If you want to know who the contributors are, you’ll have to look inside.\r\n\r\n“For me, it was about giving as much space as possible to striking images and therefore making them stand out on the bookshelf,” Pilkington explains. “I imagined people being aware that something was wrong with the cover but perhaps not being able to put their finger on it.”\r\n\r\nThe absence of cover copy also binds together the Journal’s various contributors in the anonymity of a collective endeavour. “We’re lucky enough to live in an age where we can clearly trace the influences of the past on our present,” Pilkington continues, “and it’s not always today’s most celebrated ideas, musicians and writers who will be remembered. This notion of timelessness is very important to what SAJ is and does. I’d like the books to be as irrelevant to a reader 100 years in the future as it would be to someone 100 years in the past. It’s a re-manipulation of the notion of built-in obsolescence.”\r\n\r\nThe Journal’s pages teem with old woodcuts, antiquated typefaces and intricate layouts, giving the impression of having been produced in some parallel past: one that runs counter to established tenets of historical development. Having previously worked as a journalist for periodicals as varied as Fortean Times, Bizarre and The Guardian, Mark Pilkington remains keenly aware of what’s going on around him.\r\n\r\n“There’s a particularly vibrant, very loose cultural network in London at the moment,” he remarks, “one that incorporates music and sound, ideas and information, visual arts and almost anything else you’d care to imagine. It’s inevitable that these people, places and events all bounce off and influence each other in a kind of subcultural Brownian motion.”\r\n\r\nAs well as working closely with designer Alison Hutchinson, readying volume three for publication, Pilkington has also been getting Strange Attractor Press up and running. Its first book to date, The Field Guide: The Art, History And Philosophy Of Crop Circle Making by Rob Irving and John Lundberg, is a particularly cerebral blend of art theory, paranormal phenomena, hoaxes and speculations, ruggedly bound and designed to fit snugly inside your knapsack while out exploring the British countryside. Conventional wisdom says it shouldn’t work, but Strange Attractor’s own particular blend of parlour magic proves that it does.\r\n\r\n“I sometimes see myself as a medium,” Mark reveals, “a channel for all the material that has formed Strange Attractor. I’ve been incredibly lucky with the amazing contributions the Journal has attracted so far.”\r\n\r\nThere’s no escaping it. Strange Attractor really is well named.\r\n\r\n</div>','About','','inherit','open','open','','2624-revision-v1','','','2011-01-21 15:19:50','2011-01-21 15:19:50','',2624,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/further/2624-revision-20/',0,'revision','',0),(2628,2,'2011-01-09 21:21:00','2011-01-09 21:21:00','Some text about strange Attractor','About','','inherit','open','open','','2624-revision-v1','','','2011-01-09 21:21:00','2011-01-09 21:21:00','',2624,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/further/2624-revision-2/',0,'revision','',0),(2631,2,'2011-01-01 09:38:10','2011-01-01 09:38:10','<form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\"><input name=\"cmd\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"_xclick\" />\r\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\"><strong><a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/hmtpil.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2815 alignright\" title=\"hmtpil\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/hmtpil.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"291\" /></a>by High Mountain Tempel</strong></div>\r\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\"><strong>CD, 2009, £11</strong></div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n</form><form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\"><input name=\"cmd\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"_xclick\" />\r\n<input name=\"business\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"paypal@strangeattractor.co.uk\" />\r\n<input name=\"lc\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"GB\" />\r\n<input name=\"item_name\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"HMT Pilgrimage\" />\r\n<input name=\"button_subtype\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"services\" />\r\n<input name=\"no_note\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"0\" />\r\n<input name=\"currency_code\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"GBP\" />\r\n<input name=\"bn\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"PP-BuyNowBF:btn_buynowCC_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest\" /></form><form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\">&nbsp;\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><input name=\"on0\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"Postal options\" />Postal options</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><select name=\"os0\">\r\n<option value=\"UK/EU\">UK/EU £11.00</option>\r\n</select></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<input name=\"currency_code\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"GBP\" />\r\n<input name=\"option_select0\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"UK/EU\" />\r\n<input name=\"option_amount0\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"11.00\" />\r\n<input name=\"option_index\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"0\" />\r\n<input alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https://www.paypal.com/en_US/GB/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif\" type=\"image\" />\r\n<img src=\"https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" />\r\n\r\n</form>A beautiful new album from the monks of San Diego\'s <a href=\"http://highmountaintempel.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">High Mountain Tempel</a>.

The aesthetics of this music particularly bring to mind the likes of General Magic or Farmers Manual, being characterised by a granular distortion and severely destabilised use of stereo channels (the third, untitled track is pretty much all about the left speaker, for example). The music on this release doesn’t stem from any sophisticated homemade algorithms however, but rather the practice of setting up a strong electromagnetic field in close proximity to a toy electronic keyboard. This rather destructive practice yields fascinating results, with some beautifully mangled, involuntary circuit spasms. At times the results are outbreaks of unleashed digital noise, but more often than not there’s a surprisingly sophisticated and intriguing outcome that preserves evidence of the toy keyboard’s recognisable sonic characteristics.

Absorbed in occultism and sorcery, voyaging into inner dimensions and surrounding himself with cats and familiar spirits, he continued to produce extraordinary art while developing a magical philosophy of pleasure, obsession, and the subjective nature of reality.\r\n\r\nToday Spare is both forgotten and famous, a cult figure whose modest life has been much mythologised since his death. This groundbreaking biographical study offers wide-ranging insights into Spare’s art, mind and world, reconnecting him with the art history that ignored him and exploring his parallel London; a bygone place of pub pianists, wealthy alchemists and monstrous owls.\r\n\r\nThis richly readable and illuminating biography takes us deep into the strange inner world that this most enigmatic of artists inhabited, shedding new light while allowing just a few shadowy corners to flourish unspoiled.\r\n\r\n<strong>About the author</strong>\r\n\r\nPhil Baker’s other books include <em>The Dedalus Book of Absinthe</em>, a biography of Dennis Wheatley, <em>The Devil is a Gentleman</em>, and critical works on Samuel Beckett and William Burroughs. He lives in London.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, \'Times New Roman\', \'Bitstream Charter\', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"> </span>\r\n<p style=\"font-family: Georgia, \'Bitstream Charter\', serif; color: #444444; line-height: 1.5; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;\"><strong style=\"font-family: Georgia, \'Bitstream Charter\', serif; color: #000000; line-height: 1.5; font-weight: bold;\">Reviews</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"font-family: Georgia, \'Bitstream Charter\', serif; color: #444444; line-height: 1.5; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\'I cannot recommend <em style=\"font-family: Georgia, \'Bitstream Charter\', serif; color: #444444; line-height: 1.5; font-style: italic; border: initial none initial;\">Austin Osman Spare</em> too highly.

Absorbed in occultism and sorcery, voyaging into inner dimensions and surrounding himself with cats and familiar spirits, he continued to produce extraordinary art while developing a magical philosophy of pleasure, obsession, and the subjective nature of reality.\r\n\r\nToday Spare is both forgotten and famous, a cult figure whose modest life has been much mythologised since his death. This groundbreaking biographical study offers wide-ranging insights into Spare’s art, mind and world, reconnecting him with the art history that ignored him and exploring his parallel London; a bygone place of pub pianists, wealthy alchemists and monstrous owls.\r\n\r\nThis richly readable and illuminating biography takes us deep into the strange inner world that this most enigmatic of artists inhabited, shedding new light while allowing just a few shadowy corners to flourish unspoiled.\r\n\r\n<strong>About the author</strong>\r\n\r\nPhil Baker’s other books include <em>The Dedalus Book of Absinthe</em>, a biography of Dennis Wheatley, <em>The Devil is a Gentleman</em>, and critical works on Samuel Beckett and William Burroughs. He lives in London.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, \'Times New Roman\', \'Bitstream Charter\', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">\r\n<p style=\"font-family: Georgia, \'Bitstream Charter\', serif; color: #444444; line-height: 1.5; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;\"><strong style=\"font-family: Georgia, \'Bitstream Charter\', serif; color: #000000; line-height: 1.5; font-weight: bold;\">Reviews</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"font-family: Georgia, \'Bitstream Charter\', serif; color: #444444; line-height: 1.5; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\'I cannot recommend <em style=\"font-family: Georgia, \'Bitstream Charter\', serif; color: #444444; line-height: 1.5; font-style: italic; border: initial none initial;\">Austin Osman Spare</em> too highly.

Since then Mark has continued to organise sporadic Strange Attractor events and to work on larger collaborative projects.\r\n\r\nIn 2003, along with designer Ali Hutchinson, Mark edited and published Strange Attractor Journal One, an anthology (now out-of-print) of writing on neglected and esoteric cultural, historical and anthropological themes, marking the first appearance of Strange Attractor Press.\r\n\r\nIn 2010, after publishing six more books, the Press took on two new core members, Nadia Katz Wise, as production director, and Frances Morgan, as co-publisher and editor. With our team in place, Strange Attractor Press plans to dramatically expand it\'s publishing schedule, and to continue in its mission of celebrating unpopular culture.\r\n\r\n=====\r\n\r\n<strong>For the full story of Strange Attractor, read this article by Ken Hollings, from <a href=\"http://www.thewire.co.uk/\"><em>The Wire</em></a> magazine #275, January 2007.</strong>\r\n\r\nKen Hollings rides the world’s subcultural currents mapped by London’s Strange Attractor.\r\n\r\nStrange Attractor is well named. There’s really no escaping it. Starting out as a series of live events, it has slowly transmuted into an annual publication, set up an online clearing house for the weird and the wonderful and recently made its first move towards establishing itself as a publishing house. “Strange Attractor celebrates unpopular culture,” runs its mission statement. “We declare war on mediocrity and a pox on the foot soldiers of stupidity. Join us.” Who could possibly resist such a challenge? Sooner or later you have to get involved. (In the interests of full transparency: the writer of this article has taken part in a number of Strange Attractor evenings and is a regular contributor to Strange Attractor Journal.)\r\n\r\nWith orders for the Strange Attractor publications coming in from all over the world, and mainstream media like The Independent On Sunday praising it for producing “one of the most weirdly beautiful, beautifully weird magazines of the past hundred-odd years” a bigger problem presents itself. How do you celebrate unpopular culture without losing its unpopularity?\r\n\r\n“There’s certainly no business plan,” admits Strange Attractor Journal’s publisher and chief editor, Mark Pilkington. “We’re really making it all up as we go along. I hope thatStrange Attractor’s approach to culture is simultaneously that of the archaeologist, the ethnographer, the anthropologist, the occultist, the showman and the curator.”\r\n\r\nIt’s a heady mix. The first two issues, both book-sized anthologies running to more than 200 and 400 pages apiece, have presented material ranged across such elusive topics as mind control experiments, mould art, hair sculpture, cargo cults, neglected gods and forgotten waxworks. Such a list limits more than it clarifies, however. Strange Attractor Journal is concerned less with the unexplained than with the unexpected. You never know what it will cover next.\r\n\r\n“I think Strange Attractor is refreshing to people in that it manages to straddle several cultural channels while still following its own agenda,” Pilkington admits, “and it’s one not driven by the same obvious memes. But at the same time it’s important that it doesn’t become obscurantist for its own sake—some things are lost for a reason, others will only resurface when the time is right.”\r\n\r\nStrange Attractor’s wayward eclecticism dates back to a series of monthly events begun in the summer of 2001 by Pilkington in collaboration with artist John Lundberg and continuing over the next two years. Staged at London’s Horse Hospital venue, they gave an early indication of the loose network of experimental enterprises that was starting to come into existence, linking outsider artists with cultural anthropologists, textual hackers and practising occultists.\r\n\r\n“We’d mix talks, films, music, presentations, each night being themed around a different topic,” Pilkington recalls. “I rather pretentiously called them ‘information happenings’. Subjects ranged from conspiracy theory to theremins, Esperanto to magick, hoaxes, illusions and psychic deceptions: basically anything that interested us and could draw people that we liked or wanted to meet into one place.” Highlights included a live and bloody demonstration of psychic surgery, sci-fi movie themes played on vintage electronic instruments and a live Lovecraft-influenced Chaos Magick ritual with a soundtrack performed “by a band who couldn’t see what was going on.”\r\n\r\nAfter Lundberg enrolled at the National Film and Television School, Pilkington went solo but eventually grew tired of doing regular live events, deciding instead to do something that would last longer: hence the Journal.\r\n\r\nThe notion of outliving the moment, of being around for more than just a quick cultural fix, is very much a part of SAJ’s overall look and feel. The first thing you notice is that the front and back cover of each issue is devoid of text or title, which only appears on the book’s spine. If you want to know who the contributors are, you’ll have to look inside.\r\n\r\n“For me, it was about giving as much space as possible to striking images and therefore making them stand out on the bookshelf,” Pilkington explains. “I imagined people being aware that something was wrong with the cover but perhaps not being able to put their finger on it.”\r\n\r\nThe absence of cover copy also binds together the Journal’s various contributors in the anonymity of a collective endeavour. “We’re lucky enough to live in an age where we can clearly trace the influences of the past on our present,” Pilkington continues, “and it’s not always today’s most celebrated ideas, musicians and writers who will be remembered. This notion of timelessness is very important to what SAJ is and does. I’d like the books to be as irrelevant to a reader 100 years in the future as it would be to someone 100 years in the past. It’s a re-manipulation of the notion of built-in obsolescence.”\r\n\r\nThe Journal’s pages teem with old woodcuts, antiquated typefaces and intricate layouts, giving the impression of having been produced in some parallel past: one that runs counter to established tenets of historical development. Having previously worked as a journalist for periodicals as varied as Fortean Times, Bizarre and The Guardian, Mark Pilkington remains keenly aware of what’s going on around him.\r\n\r\n“There’s a particularly vibrant, very loose cultural network in London at the moment,” he remarks, “one that incorporates music and sound, ideas and information, visual arts and almost anything else you’d care to imagine. It’s inevitable that these people, places and events all bounce off and influence each other in a kind of subcultural Brownian motion.”\r\n\r\nAs well as working closely with designer Alison Hutchinson, readying volume three for publication, Pilkington has also been getting Strange Attractor Press up and running. Its first book to date, The Field Guide: The Art, History And Philosophy Of Crop Circle Making by Rob Irving and John Lundberg, is a particularly cerebral blend of art theory, paranormal phenomena, hoaxes and speculations, ruggedly bound and designed to fit snugly inside your knapsack while out exploring the British countryside. Conventional wisdom says it shouldn’t work, but Strange Attractor’s own particular blend of parlour magic proves that it does.\r\n\r\n“I sometimes see myself as a medium,” Mark reveals, “a channel for all the material that has formed Strange Attractor.

There’s really no escaping it. Starting out as a series of live events, it has slowly transmuted into an annual publication, set up an online clearing house for the weird and the wonderful and recently made its first move towards establishing itself as a publishing house. “Strange Attractor celebrates unpopular culture,” runs its mission statement. “We declare war on mediocrity and a pox on the foot soldiers of stupidity. Join us.” Who could possibly resist such a challenge? Sooner or later you have to get involved. (In the interests of full transparency: the writer of this article has taken part in a number of Strange Attractor evenings and is a regular contributor to Strange Attractor Journal.)\r\n\r\nWith orders for the Strange Attractor publications coming in from all over the world, and mainstream media like The Independent On Sunday praising it for producing “one of the most weirdly beautiful, beautifully weird magazines of the past hundred-odd years” a bigger problem presents itself. How do you celebrate unpopular culture without losing its unpopularity?\r\n\r\n“There’s certainly no business plan,” admits Strange Attractor Journal’s publisher and chief editor, Mark Pilkington. “We’re really making it all up as we go along. I hope thatStrange Attractor’s approach to culture is simultaneously that of the archaeologist, the ethnographer, the anthropologist, the occultist, the showman and the curator.”\r\n\r\nIt’s a heady mix. The first two issues, both book-sized anthologies running to more than 200 and 400 pages apiece, have presented material ranged across such elusive topics as mind control experiments, mould art, hair sculpture, cargo cults, neglected gods and forgotten waxworks. Such a list limits more than it clarifies, however. Strange Attractor Journal is concerned less with the unexplained than with the unexpected. You never know what it will cover next.\r\n\r\n“I think Strange Attractor is refreshing to people in that it manages to straddle several cultural channels while still following its own agenda,” Pilkington admits, “and it’s one not driven by the same obvious memes. But at the same time it’s important that it doesn’t become obscurantist for its own sake—some things are lost for a reason, others will only resurface when the time is right.”\r\n\r\nStrange Attractor’s wayward eclecticism dates back to a series of monthly events begun in the summer of 2001 by Pilkington in collaboration with artist John Lundberg and continuing over the next two years. Staged at London’s Horse Hospital venue, they gave an early indication of the loose network of experimental enterprises that was starting to come into existence, linking outsider artists with cultural anthropologists, textual hackers and practising occultists.\r\n\r\n“We’d mix talks, films, music, presentations, each night being themed around a different topic,” Pilkington recalls. “I rather pretentiously called them ‘information happenings’. Subjects ranged from conspiracy theory to theremins, Esperanto to magick, hoaxes, illusions and psychic deceptions: basically anything that interested us and could draw people that we liked or wanted to meet into one place.” Highlights included a live and bloody demonstration of psychic surgery, sci-fi movie themes played on vintage electronic instruments and a live Lovecraft-influenced Chaos Magick ritual with a soundtrack performed “by a band who couldn’t see what was going on.”\r\n\r\nAfter Lundberg enrolled at the National Film and Television School, Pilkington went solo but eventually grew tired of doing regular live events, deciding instead to do something that would last longer: hence the Journal.\r\n\r\nThe notion of outliving the moment, of being around for more than just a quick cultural fix, is very much a part of SAJ’s overall look and feel. The first thing you notice is that the front and back cover of each issue is devoid of text or title, which only appears on the book’s spine. If you want to know who the contributors are, you’ll have to look inside.\r\n\r\n“For me, it was about giving as much space as possible to striking images and therefore making them stand out on the bookshelf,” Pilkington explains. “I imagined people being aware that something was wrong with the cover but perhaps not being able to put their finger on it.”\r\n\r\nThe absence of cover copy also binds together the Journal’s various contributors in the anonymity of a collective endeavour. “We’re lucky enough to live in an age where we can clearly trace the influences of the past on our present,” Pilkington continues, “and it’s not always today’s most celebrated ideas, musicians and writers who will be remembered. This notion of timelessness is very important to what SAJ is and does. I’d like the books to be as irrelevant to a reader 100 years in the future as it would be to someone 100 years in the past. It’s a re-manipulation of the notion of built-in obsolescence.”\r\n\r\nThe Journal’s pages teem with old woodcuts, antiquated typefaces and intricate layouts, giving the impression of having been produced in some parallel past: one that runs counter to established tenets of historical development. Having previously worked as a journalist for periodicals as varied as Fortean Times, Bizarre and The Guardian, Mark Pilkington remains keenly aware of what’s going on around him.\r\n\r\n“There’s a particularly vibrant, very loose cultural network in London at the moment,” he remarks, “one that incorporates music and sound, ideas and information, visual arts and almost anything else you’d care to imagine. It’s inevitable that these people, places and events all bounce off and influence each other in a kind of subcultural Brownian motion.”\r\n\r\nAs well as working closely with designer Alison Hutchinson, readying volume three for publication, Pilkington has also been getting Strange Attractor Press up and running. Its first book to date, The Field Guide: The Art, History And Philosophy Of Crop Circle Making by Rob Irving and John Lundberg, is a particularly cerebral blend of art theory, paranormal phenomena, hoaxes and speculations, ruggedly bound and designed to fit snugly inside your knapsack while out exploring the British countryside. Conventional wisdom says it shouldn’t work, but Strange Attractor’s own particular blend of parlour magic proves that it does.\r\n\r\n“I sometimes see myself as a medium,” Mark reveals, “a channel for all the material that has formed Strange Attractor.

There’s really no escaping it. Starting out as a series of live events, it has slowly transmuted into an annual publication, set up an online clearing house for the weird and the wonderful and recently made its first move towards establishing itself as a publishing house. “Strange Attractor celebrates unpopular culture,” runs its mission statement. “We declare war on mediocrity and a pox on the foot soldiers of stupidity. Join us.” Who could possibly resist such a challenge? Sooner or later you have to get involved. (In the interests of full transparency: the writer of this article has taken part in a number of Strange Attractor evenings and is a regular contributor to Strange Attractor Journal.)\r\n\r\nWith orders for the Strange Attractor publications coming in from all over the world, and mainstream media like The Independent On Sunday praising it for producing “one of the most weirdly beautiful, beautifully weird magazines of the past hundred-odd years” a bigger problem presents itself. How do you celebrate unpopular culture without losing its unpopularity?\r\n\r\n“There’s certainly no business plan,” admits Strange Attractor Journal’s publisher and chief editor, Mark Pilkington. “We’re really making it all up as we go along. I hope thatStrange Attractor’s approach to culture is simultaneously that of the archaeologist, the ethnographer, the anthropologist, the occultist, the showman and the curator.”\r\n\r\nIt’s a heady mix. The first two issues, both book-sized anthologies running to more than 200 and 400 pages apiece, have presented material ranged across such elusive topics as mind control experiments, mould art, hair sculpture, cargo cults, neglected gods and forgotten waxworks. Such a list limits more than it clarifies, however. Strange Attractor Journal is concerned less with the unexplained than with the unexpected. You never know what it will cover next.\r\n\r\n“I think Strange Attractor is refreshing to people in that it manages to straddle several cultural channels while still following its own agenda,” Pilkington admits, “and it’s one not driven by the same obvious memes. But at the same time it’s important that it doesn’t become obscurantist for its own sake—some things are lost for a reason, others will only resurface when the time is right.”\r\n\r\nStrange Attractor’s wayward eclecticism dates back to a series of monthly events begun in the summer of 2001 by Pilkington in collaboration with artist John Lundberg and continuing over the next two years. Staged at London’s Horse Hospital venue, they gave an early indication of the loose network of experimental enterprises that was starting to come into existence, linking outsider artists with cultural anthropologists, textual hackers and practising occultists.\r\n\r\n“We’d mix talks, films, music, presentations, each night being themed around a different topic,” Pilkington recalls. “I rather pretentiously called them ‘information happenings’. Subjects ranged from conspiracy theory to theremins, Esperanto to magick, hoaxes, illusions and psychic deceptions: basically anything that interested us and could draw people that we liked or wanted to meet into one place.” Highlights included a live and bloody demonstration of psychic surgery, sci-fi movie themes played on vintage electronic instruments and a live Lovecraft-influenced Chaos Magick ritual with a soundtrack performed “by a band who couldn’t see what was going on.”\r\n\r\nAfter Lundberg enrolled at the National Film and Television School, Pilkington went solo but eventually grew tired of doing regular live events, deciding instead to do something that would last longer: hence the Journal.\r\n\r\nThe notion of outliving the moment, of being around for more than just a quick cultural fix, is very much a part of SAJ’s overall look and feel. The first thing you notice is that the front and back cover of each issue is devoid of text or title, which only appears on the book’s spine. If you want to know who the contributors are, you’ll have to look inside.\r\n\r\n“For me, it was about giving as much space as possible to striking images and therefore making them stand out on the bookshelf,” Pilkington explains. “I imagined people being aware that something was wrong with the cover but perhaps not being able to put their finger on it.”\r\n\r\nThe absence of cover copy also binds together the Journal’s various contributors in the anonymity of a collective endeavour. “We’re lucky enough to live in an age where we can clearly trace the influences of the past on our present,” Pilkington continues, “and it’s not always today’s most celebrated ideas, musicians and writers who will be remembered. This notion of timelessness is very important to what SAJ is and does. I’d like the books to be as irrelevant to a reader 100 years in the future as it would be to someone 100 years in the past. It’s a re-manipulation of the notion of built-in obsolescence.”\r\n\r\nThe Journal’s pages teem with old woodcuts, antiquated typefaces and intricate layouts, giving the impression of having been produced in some parallel past: one that runs counter to established tenets of historical development. Having previously worked as a journalist for periodicals as varied as Fortean Times, Bizarre and The Guardian, Mark Pilkington remains keenly aware of what’s going on around him.\r\n\r\n“There’s a particularly vibrant, very loose cultural network in London at the moment,” he remarks, “one that incorporates music and sound, ideas and information, visual arts and almost anything else you’d care to imagine. It’s inevitable that these people, places and events all bounce off and influence each other in a kind of subcultural Brownian motion.”\r\n\r\nAs well as working closely with designer Alison Hutchinson, readying volume three for publication, Pilkington has also been getting Strange Attractor Press up and running. Its first book to date, The Field Guide: The Art, History And Philosophy Of Crop Circle Making by Rob Irving and John Lundberg, is a particularly cerebral blend of art theory, paranormal phenomena, hoaxes and speculations, ruggedly bound and designed to fit snugly inside your knapsack while out exploring the British countryside. Conventional wisdom says it shouldn’t work, but Strange Attractor’s own particular blend of parlour magic proves that it does.\r\n\r\n“I sometimes see myself as a medium,” Mark reveals, “a channel for all the material that has formed Strange Attractor. I’ve been incredibly lucky with the amazing contributions the Journal has attracted so far.”\r\n\r\nThere’s no escaping it. Strange Attractor really is well named.\r\n\r\n</div>','About','','inherit','open','open','','2624-revision-v1','','','2011-01-10 12:39:45','2011-01-10 12:39:45','',2624,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/further/2624-revision-7/',0,'revision','',0),(2700,2,'2011-01-10 12:40:03','2011-01-10 12:40:03','<div>\r\n\r\n<strong>A brief history of Strange Attractor Press</strong>\r\n\r\nIn 2001 John Lundberg and Mark Pilkington instigated a series of events at London\'s <a href=\"http://www.thehorsehospital.com\" target=\"_blank\">The Horse Hospital</a> that ran for two years under the title \'Strange Attractor\'.

There’s really no escaping it. Starting out as a series of live events, it has slowly transmuted into an annual publication, set up an online clearing house for the weird and the wonderful and recently made its first move towards establishing itself as a publishing house. “Strange Attractor celebrates unpopular culture,” runs its mission statement. “We declare war on mediocrity and a pox on the foot soldiers of stupidity. Join us.” Who could possibly resist such a challenge? Sooner or later you have to get involved. (In the interests of full transparency: the writer of this article has taken part in a number of Strange Attractor evenings and is a regular contributor to Strange Attractor Journal.)\r\n\r\nWith orders for the Strange Attractor publications coming in from all over the world, and mainstream media like The Independent On Sunday praising it for producing “one of the most weirdly beautiful, beautifully weird magazines of the past hundred-odd years” a bigger problem presents itself. How do you celebrate unpopular culture without losing its unpopularity?\r\n\r\n“There’s certainly no business plan,” admits Strange Attractor Journal’s publisher and chief editor, Mark Pilkington. “We’re really making it all up as we go along. I hope thatStrange Attractor’s approach to culture is simultaneously that of the archaeologist, the ethnographer, the anthropologist, the occultist, the showman and the curator.”\r\n\r\nIt’s a heady mix. The first two issues, both book-sized anthologies running to more than 200 and 400 pages apiece, have presented material ranged across such elusive topics as mind control experiments, mould art, hair sculpture, cargo cults, neglected gods and forgotten waxworks. Such a list limits more than it clarifies, however. Strange Attractor Journal is concerned less with the unexplained than with the unexpected. You never know what it will cover next.\r\n\r\n“I think Strange Attractor is refreshing to people in that it manages to straddle several cultural channels while still following its own agenda,” Pilkington admits, “and it’s one not driven by the same obvious memes. But at the same time it’s important that it doesn’t become obscurantist for its own sake—some things are lost for a reason, others will only resurface when the time is right.”\r\n\r\nStrange Attractor’s wayward eclecticism dates back to a series of monthly events begun in the summer of 2001 by Pilkington in collaboration with artist John Lundberg and continuing over the next two years. Staged at London’s Horse Hospital venue, they gave an early indication of the loose network of experimental enterprises that was starting to come into existence, linking outsider artists with cultural anthropologists, textual hackers and practising occultists.\r\n\r\n“We’d mix talks, films, music, presentations, each night being themed around a different topic,” Pilkington recalls. “I rather pretentiously called them ‘information happenings’. Subjects ranged from conspiracy theory to theremins, Esperanto to magick, hoaxes, illusions and psychic deceptions: basically anything that interested us and could draw people that we liked or wanted to meet into one place.” Highlights included a live and bloody demonstration of psychic surgery, sci-fi movie themes played on vintage electronic instruments and a live Lovecraft-influenced Chaos Magick ritual with a soundtrack performed “by a band who couldn’t see what was going on.”\r\n\r\nAfter Lundberg enrolled at the National Film and Television School, Pilkington went solo but eventually grew tired of doing regular live events, deciding instead to do something that would last longer: hence the Journal.\r\n\r\nThe notion of outliving the moment, of being around for more than just a quick cultural fix, is very much a part of SAJ’s overall look and feel. The first thing you notice is that the front and back cover of each issue is devoid of text or title, which only appears on the book’s spine. If you want to know who the contributors are, you’ll have to look inside.\r\n\r\n“For me, it was about giving as much space as possible to striking images and therefore making them stand out on the bookshelf,” Pilkington explains. “I imagined people being aware that something was wrong with the cover but perhaps not being able to put their finger on it.”\r\n\r\nThe absence of cover copy also binds together the Journal’s various contributors in the anonymity of a collective endeavour. “We’re lucky enough to live in an age where we can clearly trace the influences of the past on our present,” Pilkington continues, “and it’s not always today’s most celebrated ideas, musicians and writers who will be remembered. This notion of timelessness is very important to what SAJ is and does. I’d like the books to be as irrelevant to a reader 100 years in the future as it would be to someone 100 years in the past. It’s a re-manipulation of the notion of built-in obsolescence.”\r\n\r\nThe Journal’s pages teem with old woodcuts, antiquated typefaces and intricate layouts, giving the impression of having been produced in some parallel past: one that runs counter to established tenets of historical development. Having previously worked as a journalist for periodicals as varied as Fortean Times, Bizarre and The Guardian, Mark Pilkington remains keenly aware of what’s going on around him.\r\n\r\n“There’s a particularly vibrant, very loose cultural network in London at the moment,” he remarks, “one that incorporates music and sound, ideas and information, visual arts and almost anything else you’d care to imagine. It’s inevitable that these people, places and events all bounce off and influence each other in a kind of subcultural Brownian motion.”\r\n\r\nAs well as working closely with designer Alison Hutchinson, readying volume three for publication, Pilkington has also been getting Strange Attractor Press up and running. Its first book to date, The Field Guide: The Art, History And Philosophy Of Crop Circle Making by Rob Irving and John Lundberg, is a particularly cerebral blend of art theory, paranormal phenomena, hoaxes and speculations, ruggedly bound and designed to fit snugly inside your knapsack while out exploring the British countryside. Conventional wisdom says it shouldn’t work, but Strange Attractor’s own particular blend of parlour magic proves that it does.\r\n\r\n“I sometimes see myself as a medium,” Mark reveals, “a channel for all the material that has formed Strange Attractor.

Subjects ranged from conspiracy theory to theremins, Esperanto to magick, hoaxes, illusions and psychic deceptions: basically anything that interested us and could draw people that we liked or wanted to meet into one place.” Highlights included a live and bloody demonstration of psychic surgery, sci-fi movie themes played on vintage electronic instruments and a live Lovecraft-influenced Chaos Magick ritual with a soundtrack performed “by a band who couldn’t see what was going on.”\r\n\r\nAfter Lundberg enrolled at the National Film and Television School, Pilkington went solo but eventually grew tired of doing regular live events, deciding instead to do something that would last longer: hence the Journal.\r\n\r\nThe notion of outliving the moment, of being around for more than just a quick cultural fix, is very much a part of SAJ’s overall look and feel. The first thing you notice is that the front and back cover of each issue is devoid of text or title, which only appears on the book’s spine. If you want to know who the contributors are, you’ll have to look inside.\r\n\r\n“For me, it was about giving as much space as possible to striking images and therefore making them stand out on the bookshelf,” Pilkington explains. “I imagined people being aware that something was wrong with the cover but perhaps not being able to put their finger on it.”\r\n\r\nThe absence of cover copy also binds together the Journal’s various contributors in the anonymity of a collective endeavour. “We’re lucky enough to live in an age where we can clearly trace the influences of the past on our present,” Pilkington continues, “and it’s not always today’s most celebrated ideas, musicians and writers who will be remembered. This notion of timelessness is very important to what SAJ is and does. I’d like the books to be as irrelevant to a reader 100 years in the future as it would be to someone 100 years in the past. It’s a re-manipulation of the notion of built-in obsolescence.”\r\n\r\nThe Journal’s pages teem with old woodcuts, antiquated typefaces and intricate layouts, giving the impression of having been produced in some parallel past: one that runs counter to established tenets of historical development. Having previously worked as a journalist for periodicals as varied as Fortean Times, Bizarre and The Guardian, Mark Pilkington remains keenly aware of what’s going on around him.\r\n\r\n“There’s a particularly vibrant, very loose cultural network in London at the moment,” he remarks, “one that incorporates music and sound, ideas and information, visual arts and almost anything else you’d care to imagine. It’s inevitable that these people, places and events all bounce off and influence each other in a kind of subcultural Brownian motion.”\r\n\r\nAs well as working closely with designer Alison Hutchinson, readying volume three for publication, Pilkington has also been getting Strange Attractor Press up and running. Its first book to date, The Field Guide: The Art, History And Philosophy Of Crop Circle Making by Rob Irving and John Lundberg, is a particularly cerebral blend of art theory, paranormal phenomena, hoaxes and speculations, ruggedly bound and designed to fit snugly inside your knapsack while out exploring the British countryside. Conventional wisdom says it shouldn’t work, but Strange Attractor’s own particular blend of parlour magic proves that it does.\r\n\r\n“I sometimes see myself as a medium,” Mark reveals, “a channel for all the material that has formed Strange Attractor. I’ve been incredibly lucky with the amazing contributions the Journal has attracted so far.”\r\n\r\nThere’s no escaping it. Strange Attractor really is well named.\r\n\r\n</div>','About','','inherit','open','open','','2624-revision-v1','','','2011-01-10 12:46:02','2011-01-10 12:46:02','',2624,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/further/2624-revision-12/',0,'revision','',0),(2706,2,'2011-01-10 12:46:44','2011-01-10 12:46:44','<div>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2699\" title=\"SA2\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/SA2-300x235.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"235\" />\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2698 alignnone\" title=\"SA1\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/SA1-300x207.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" /><a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/SA3.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2702\" style=\"margin-left: 10px;\" title=\"SA3\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/SA3-300x290.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"290\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>A brief history of Strange Attractor Press</strong>\r\n\r\nIn 2001 John Lundberg and Mark Pilkington instigated a series of events at London\'s <a href=\"http://www.thehorsehospital.com\" target=\"_blank\">The Horse Hospital</a> that ran for two years under the title \'Strange Attractor\' (<em>see images of our first two events above</em>). Since then Mark has continued to organise sporadic Strange Attractor events and to work on larger collaborative projects.\r\n\r\nIn 2003, along with designer Ali Hutchinson, Mark edited and published <em>Strange Attractor Journal One</em>, an anthology (now out-of-print) of writing on neglected and esoteric cultural, historical and anthropological themes in keeping with the original events, that marked the first appearance of Strange Attractor Press.\r\n\r\nIn 2010, after publishing six more books, the Press took on two new core members, Nadia Katz Wise, as production director, and Frances Morgan, as co-publisher and editor. With our team in place, Strange Attractor Press plans to dramatically expand it\'s publishing schedule, and to continue in its mission of celebrating unpopular culture.\r\n\r\n∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞\r\n\r\n<strong>A long history of Strange Attractor</strong>\r\n<strong>by Ken Hollings </strong>\r\n(published in <a href=\"http://www.thewire.co.uk/\"><em>The Wire</em></a> magazine #<a href=\"http://www.thewire.co.uk/issues/275/\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2695 alignright\" title=\"The Wire #275 January 2007\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/The-Wire-275-January-2007-244x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"244\" height=\"300\" /></a>, January 2007)\r\n\r\n<em>Ken Hollings rides the world’s subcultural currents mapped by London’s Strange Attractor.</em>\r\n\r\nStrange Attractor is well named. There’s really no escaping it. Starting out as a series of live events, it has slowly transmuted into an annual publication, set up an online clearing house for the weird and the wonderful and recently made its first move towards establishing itself as a publishing house. “Strange Attractor celebrates unpopular culture,” runs its mission statement. “We declare war on mediocrity and a pox on the foot soldiers of stupidity. Join us.” Who could possibly resist such a challenge? Sooner or later you have to get involved. (In the interests of full transparency: the writer of this article has taken part in a number of Strange Attractor evenings and is a regular contributor to Strange Attractor Journal.)\r\n\r\nWith orders for the Strange Attractor publications coming in from all over the world, and mainstream media like The Independent On Sunday praising it for producing “one of the most weirdly beautiful, beautifully weird magazines of the past hundred-odd years” a bigger problem presents itself. How do you celebrate unpopular culture without losing its unpopularity?\r\n\r\n“There’s certainly no business plan,” admits Strange Attractor Journal’s publisher and chief editor, Mark Pilkington. “We’re really making it all up as we go along. I hope thatStrange Attractor’s approach to culture is simultaneously that of the archaeologist, the ethnographer, the anthropologist, the occultist, the showman and the curator.”\r\n\r\nIt’s a heady mix. The first two issues, both book-sized anthologies running to more than 200 and 400 pages apiece, have presented material ranged across such elusive topics as mind control experiments, mould art, hair sculpture, cargo cults, neglected gods and forgotten waxworks. Such a list limits more than it clarifies, however. Strange Attractor Journal is concerned less with the unexplained than with the unexpected. You never know what it will cover next.\r\n\r\n“I think Strange Attractor is refreshing to people in that it manages to straddle several cultural channels while still following its own agenda,” Pilkington admits, “and it’s one not driven by the same obvious memes. But at the same time it’s important that it doesn’t become obscurantist for its own sake—some things are lost for a reason, others will only resurface when the time is right.”\r\n\r\nStrange Attractor’s wayward eclecticism dates back to a series of monthly events begun in the summer of 2001 by Pilkington in collaboration with artist John Lundberg and continuing over the next two years.

Since then Mark has continued to organise sporadic Strange Attractor events and to work on larger collaborative projects.\r\n\r\nIn 2003, along with designer Ali Hutchinson, Mark edited and published <em>Strange Attractor Journal One</em>, an anthology (now out-of-print) of writing on neglected and esoteric cultural, historical and anthropological themes in keeping with the original events, that marked the first appearance of Strange Attractor Press.\r\n\r\nIn 2010, after publishing six more books, the Press took on two new core members, Nadia Katz Wise, as production director, and Frances Morgan, as co-publisher and editor. With our team in place, Strange Attractor Press plans to dramatically expand it\'s publishing schedule, and to continue in its mission of celebrating unpopular culture.\r\n\r\n∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞\r\n\r\n<strong>A long history of Strange Attractor</strong>\r\n<strong>by Ken Hollings </strong>\r\n(published in <a href=\"http://www.thewire.co.uk/\"><em>The Wire</em></a> magazine #<a href=\"http://www.thewire.co.uk/issues/275/\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2695 alignright\" title=\"The Wire #275 January 2007\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/The-Wire-275-January-2007-244x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"244\" height=\"300\" /></a>, January 2007)\r\n\r\n<em>Ken Hollings rides the world’s subcultural currents mapped by London’s Strange Attractor.</em>\r\n\r\nStrange Attractor is well named. There’s really no escaping it. Starting out as a series of live events, it has slowly transmuted into an annual publication, set up an online clearing house for the weird and the wonderful and recently made its first move towards establishing itself as a publishing house. “Strange Attractor celebrates unpopular culture,” runs its mission statement. “We declare war on mediocrity and a pox on the foot soldiers of stupidity. Join us.” Who could possibly resist such a challenge? Sooner or later you have to get involved. (In the interests of full transparency: the writer of this article has taken part in a number of Strange Attractor evenings and is a regular contributor to Strange Attractor Journal.)\r\n\r\nWith orders for the Strange Attractor publications coming in from all over the world, and mainstream media like The Independent On Sunday praising it for producing “one of the most weirdly beautiful, beautifully weird magazines of the past hundred-odd years” a bigger problem presents itself. How do you celebrate unpopular culture without losing its unpopularity?\r\n\r\n“There’s certainly no business plan,” admits Strange Attractor Journal’s publisher and chief editor, Mark Pilkington. “We’re really making it all up as we go along. I hope thatStrange Attractor’s approach to culture is simultaneously that of the archaeologist, the ethnographer, the anthropologist, the occultist, the showman and the curator.”\r\n\r\nIt’s a heady mix. The first two issues, both book-sized anthologies running to more than 200 and 400 pages apiece, have presented material ranged across such elusive topics as mind control experiments, mould art, hair sculpture, cargo cults, neglected gods and forgotten waxworks. Such a list limits more than it clarifies, however. Strange Attractor Journal is concerned less with the unexplained than with the unexpected. You never know what it will cover next.\r\n\r\n“I think Strange Attractor is refreshing to people in that it manages to straddle several cultural channels while still following its own agenda,” Pilkington admits, “and it’s one not driven by the same obvious memes. But at the same time it’s important that it doesn’t become obscurantist for its own sake—some things are lost for a reason, others will only resurface when the time is right.”\r\n\r\nStrange Attractor’s wayward eclecticism dates back to a series of monthly events begun in the summer of 2001 by Pilkington in collaboration with artist John Lundberg and continuing over the next two years. Staged at London’s Horse Hospital venue, they gave an early indication of the loose network of experimental enterprises that was starting to come into existence, linking outsider artists with cultural anthropologists, textual hackers and practising occultists.\r\n\r\n“We’d mix talks, films, music, presentations, each night being themed around a different topic,” Pilkington recalls. “I rather pretentiously called them ‘information happenings’. Subjects ranged from conspiracy theory to theremins, Esperanto to magick, hoaxes, illusions and psychic deceptions: basically anything that interested us and could draw people that we liked or wanted to meet into one place.” Highlights included a live and bloody demonstration of psychic surgery, sci-fi movie themes played on vintage electronic instruments and a live Lovecraft-influenced Chaos Magick ritual with a soundtrack performed “by a band who couldn’t see what was going on.”\r\n\r\nAfter Lundberg enrolled at the National Film and Television School, Pilkington went solo but eventually grew tired of doing regular live events, deciding instead to do something that would last longer: hence the Journal.\r\n\r\nThe notion of outliving the moment, of being around for more than just a quick cultural fix, is very much a part of SAJ’s overall look and feel. The first thing you notice is that the front and back cover of each issue is devoid of text or title, which only appears on the book’s spine. If you want to know who the contributors are, you’ll have to look inside.\r\n\r\n“For me, it was about giving as much space as possible to striking images and therefore making them stand out on the bookshelf,” Pilkington explains. “I imagined people being aware that something was wrong with the cover but perhaps not being able to put their finger on it.”\r\n\r\nThe absence of cover copy also binds together the Journal’s various contributors in the anonymity of a collective endeavour. “We’re lucky enough to live in an age where we can clearly trace the influences of the past on our present,” Pilkington continues, “and it’s not always today’s most celebrated ideas, musicians and writers who will be remembered. This notion of timelessness is very important to what SAJ is and does. I’d like the books to be as irrelevant to a reader 100 years in the future as it would be to someone 100 years in the past. It’s a re-manipulation of the notion of built-in obsolescence.”\r\n\r\nThe Journal’s pages teem with old woodcuts, antiquated typefaces and intricate layouts, giving the impression of having been produced in some parallel past: one that runs counter to established tenets of historical development. Having previously worked as a journalist for periodicals as varied as Fortean Times, Bizarre and The Guardian, Mark Pilkington remains keenly aware of what’s going on around him.\r\n\r\n“There’s a particularly vibrant, very loose cultural network in London at the moment,” he remarks, “one that incorporates music and sound, ideas and information, visual arts and almost anything else you’d care to imagine. It’s inevitable that these people, places and events all bounce off and influence each other in a kind of subcultural Brownian motion.”\r\n\r\nAs well as working closely with designer Alison Hutchinson, readying volume three for publication, Pilkington has also been getting Strange Attractor Press up and running. Its first book to date, The Field Guide: The Art, History And Philosophy Of Crop Circle Making by Rob Irving and John Lundberg, is a particularly cerebral blend of art theory, paranormal phenomena, hoaxes and speculations, ruggedly bound and designed to fit snugly inside your knapsack while out exploring the British countryside. Conventional wisdom says it shouldn’t work, but Strange Attractor’s own particular blend of parlour magic proves that it does.\r\n\r\n“I sometimes see myself as a medium,” Mark reveals, “a channel for all the material that has formed Strange Attractor. I’ve been incredibly lucky with the amazing contributions the Journal has attracted so far.”\r\n\r\nThere’s no escaping it. Strange Attractor really is well named.\r\n\r\n</div>','About','','inherit','open','open','','2624-revision-v1','','','2011-01-10 12:47:06','2011-01-10 12:47:06','',2624,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/further/2624-revision-14/',0,'revision','',0),(2718,2,'2011-01-12 08:36:53','2011-01-12 08:36:53','<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/dodgemad.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2189 alignnone\" title=\"dodgemad\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/dodgemad.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" /></a>\r\n\r\n2011 marks a decade since <strong>John Lundberg</strong> and I started organising Strange Attractor events at London\'s Horse Hospital, and through a serendipitous collision (or should that be collusion?) of accident and design, it sees Strange Attractor Press enter what we hope to be a new phase of our evolution.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>New SAP site</em></strong>\r\n\r\nFirst of all, you may have noticed the new web site – the first major overhaul since John created our first web page in 2001.

Huge thanks to the brilliant <strong>Ralph Cowling</strong>, who has toiled above and beyond the call of duty to integrate the various elements of the Strange Attractor multiverse into one site. There will no doubt be a few teething problems as the site is properly used, so if you have any problems with it or suggestions for improving it, then please let us know at <em>web[at]strangeattractor.co.uk. </em>We<em> </em>are already planning a second stage of improvements and tweaks, so watch this space.\r\n\r\nSecond, I\'d like to welcome two new core members to the Strange Attractor Press team, <strong>Nadia Katz-Wise</strong> and <strong>Frances Morgan</strong>. Nadia, our Production Director and Guru, was instrumental in making <a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/studios/londons-medical-history/\" target=\"_blank\">Medical London</a> the stunning package that it is, while Frances, our Co-Publisher and Editor, previously edited and published the late, lamented <em>Plan B</em> music magazine. Working together, along with a stable of talented friends and freelancers, the three of us hope to dramatically increase SAP\'s output, and that brings us to our new books...\r\n\r\n<em>February and March will see the publication of three new SAP books:</em>\r\n\r\n<em><a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/ES_web_small.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2537\" title=\"ES_web_small\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/ES_web_small-215x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"129\" height=\"180\" /></a><a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/the-end/\" target=\"_self\">The End: An Electric Sheep Anthology</a></em>, edited by <strong>Virginie Selavy</strong>\r\nWe\'re thrilled to be publishing this first anthology of new writing from the team behind the excellent <em><a href=\"http://www.electricsheepmagazine.co.uk/\" target=\"_blank\">Electric Sheep</a></em> magazine.
