Second Body:
Dead Thinking:
Unsorcery is a dimension of productive alienation from concepts through experience and from experience through thinking. Unsorcery concepts are actualized and put to work in carefully dramatized 60 min sessions where the artistic dimension is camouflaged as a sort of speculative practice of behavioral interventions. For Unsorcery, the bodies and behaviors are not just a medium of expression – the focus moves from an aesthetics based on images and representations to the manipulation of habits, affects and capacities. The sessions are not a workshop, not a practice, not a lecture, not a critical or political gesture, not a discussion, not interactive or participatory art, not an object to be contemplated or a spectacle to be seen. It's a new form, a new medium, a new possibility – Unsorcery Sessions.
The sessions are based on Unsorcery concepts: Second Body, Dead Thinking, Eternal Feeding, End Dream.

Eternal Feeding Technique
In the wake of climate disaster, global pandemics, species extinction, when a world without the human is not just an adrenalin boost of Hollywood blockbusters but is slowly entering our perception and mode of thought, we have to get ready to face hard times of famine and scarcity even in the more privileged parts of the world.
Our method will not only raise the chances of your survival in the future but will provide an admirable graveyard aesthetics. Nowadays aesthetics cannot be just aesthetics, it should be useful as well!
Four useful steps to follow the Eternal Feeding Technique:
1. pick up a grave of any of your loved ones
2. plant vegetables on it (tomatoes, cucumbers etc), herbs or, if you are willing to be patient, you can seed a fruit tree as well
3. when they are ripe pick them up, eat them or share them with your friends
4. make sure you include in your will your wish to be eaten by your dear ones in your turn.

The Congress of Pessimism
The Congress of Pessimism started with Dylan Trigg's philosophy-performance On an Unhuman Phenomenology: Horror of the Cosmos & Horror of the Body at the Unsorcery stand.
These lectures take their inspiration from a question central to contemporary philosophy: to what extent is our sense of identity informed by the materiality of our bodies? If phenomenology has attended to this question, then it has done so largely from the perspective of lived experience within a personal history. But there is another side to this relation between materiality and subjectivity which resists experience. Darker and more obscure, and at all times portending to something unknowable, this other side of the body has for the most part been overlooked by phenomenology. It is a body that is alien, alienated, and alienating. These two lectures approach the alien materiality of the body from joint perspectives: cosmic horror and body horror, both poles are united by an overarching thesis: the horror of the cosmos is the horror of the body and the horror of the body is the horror of the cosmos. This intertwining of the alien and the human inhabiting the same body is termed unhumanity.
