Rapid Eye was founded by Simon Dwyer in Poplar, East London, on 23rd January 1979. It has taken several different forms: as magazine, mailart campaign, series of booklets and audio tapes, coffee-table album, etc, culminating with a trilogy of deluxe editions inaugurating the final decade of the 20th Century. The last supper. The project's original aim: To put Art and Magick onto the street, where they belong, in order to facilitate the process of understanding and civilisation in a wilfully ignorant and manifestly, uncivilised society.

Painters, cyberpunks, dog-boys, mad scientists, occultists, neoists, performance artists, film-makers, writerss, leopard-girls and voodoo horsemen. Hacking into the new virtual geography, where time and space do not exist, but where thought survives, as in art. In this age of transition and sensory overload, new ideas and organisations of perception form. To be marginalised, misunderstood, ignored, reviled. But melancholy can fuel creation. Imagination can replace fantasy. Hope can overcome fear. Different interpretations of the past and fresh approaches to art and technology can ensure the evolution and refinement of the perception of everyday life. In the virtual universe, there is no death.

Rapid Eye Anthology Vol.1 edited by Simon Dwyer - 

Painters, cyberpunks, dog-boys, mad scientists, occultists, neoists, performance artists, film-makers, writers, leopard-girls and voodoo horsemen. Hacking into the new virtual geography, where time and space do not exist, but where thought survives, as in art. In this age of transition and sensory overload, new ideas and organisations of perception form. To be marginalised, misunderstood, ignored, reviled. But melancholy can fuel creation. Imagination can replace fantasy. Hope can overcome fear. Different interpretations of the past and fresh approaches to art and technology can ensure the evolution and refinement of the perception of everyday life. In the virtual universe, there is no death. ‘‘ That Aldous Huxley featured on the cover of Rapid Eye 1 to launch the series was significant, I think – there was little posturing and no ageism or wilful trendiness to RE, more an interest in well-expressed, different ideas and positions wherever and whoever they came from’‘.

Simon Dwyer update.

Simon Dwyer suffered a serious shoulder injury in 2011 which caused nerve damage that resulted in a loss of movement in his shoulder/arm.

According to Simon's dad, Simon saw a specialist yesterday. He has got a bit of movement back in his shoulder and will start working on strengthening it with a physio.

That sounds like very positive news; and I wish Simon the very best on his way to recovery. Despite peoples doubts about him making a return, Simon has none.

Champion player! Hope to see him back in 2013.
