OCCULTER

1) a creative consortium and exchange project. 2) an instrument used to block the view of a bright celestial object allowing the careful observation of a fainter one. Inspired by a pantheon of fringe thinkers and risk-takers, OCCULTER seeks to fan the spark of one basic human necessity: a personal sense of wonder. OCCULTER's organic membership creates challenging works in a variety of mediums, while its exchange component works to nurture stimulating relationships with its supporters. 131 Essex Street, 4th Floor New York, NY 10002

Behold, the last #OcculterBlackBook. We started this project a little over three years ago to challenge the "digital rights management" model of leased media by declaring physicality the starting point of human individuation and the concept of ownership. These were our praise for the technologically and politically immune vehicle for ideas that the printer book is. // Well, after breathing latex fumes for too long we think it's time for a new format to address this important and evolving issue. We also don't recommend trying to make these books, it hit us that it was not environmentally sound or healthy to work with. // Thank you for your amazing support of our Black Book V.2 project and wish us luck with V.2 -- Occulter
