Embracing the idea that technology acts as a mirror of the organic world, capable of healing or poisoning depending on its usage and users, Premium Connect investigates the cybernetic spaces where the organic, technological and spiritual worlds connect. This work explores the origins of information and communication technologies (ICTs), drawing on wisdoms from the fungi underworld, ancestors’ communication, numerology, African divination systems, sacred geometry, Dogon astrology and the earth’s energetic grid among other spiritual technologies. The history of colonial domination and the erasure of indigenous knowledge systems are closely related to the history of our ‘modern’ technologies. Premium Connect digs into ancient cosmologies in search of technological authenticity, which does not rely on exploitation, exclusion, empiric rationality and profit.
