Order 41 Conjuration of Beelzebub

ORDER 41 CONJURATION OF BEELZEBUB

noko, Australia, 2009, 60 mins | 2009

noko (Michael Strum, Scott Barnes and Barry Hale) operate at the very fringes of expanded cinema, live performance, music and magick. Their rare public appearances – the last of which took place at the Equinox Festival in London in 2009 – see them engaging in esoteric rituals through abstracted experimental sound and visuals. These visuals mix animation, found footage, documentation of magickal practices and real-time image-capture to create a swirling sea of ever-changing images. Working in broadly the same occult traditions as Harry Smith, they manifest magick as art and their art as magick – for Noko there can be no separation.
