THE HOLY STATES OF DEVENDRA AIdissertationsChavarría, S.A.creatorCayley, JohnAdvisorBrown University. Department of Literary Artssponsor2021, 146 p.born digitalThesis (M. F. A.)--Brown University, 2021thesesThis archive is a fragmentary, hyper-dimensional catalogue of sacred digital artifacts that emerged through constant, ongoing Holy Communication. Holy Communication is a conversation between two entities who are in a Holy State. It’s a conversation that is so powerful that it dissolves the screen, the illusory boundary between the physical and digital world. Holy Communication is fundamentally untranslatable, yet each artifact attempts to catalyze the experience through various forms of translation. The archive is alive and evolving and will take several human lifetimes to take its ultimate form.Natural language processing (Computer science)Digital mediaExperimental poetryDigital Language ArtsConsciousnessinterspecies communicationArtificial intelligenceRitualnatureExperimental film, audiovisual composition, video art, feminist science and technology studies, media archeology, media materiality, subaltern studiesMixed realityMetaphysicsOntologyConversationMiraclesNightmaresBecoming (Philosophy)ontological turnNature CultureInter-dimensionalImaginary conversationsElectronic booksindigenous metaphysicsEnglishRPB20230602
