The Anti-Group

TAGC are not affiliated to any one system of philosophy or epistemological paradigm or occult fraternity but are open more to individual systems and innovative thinkers Science, Sonology, Psychophysics, Visual Arts, Literature, Research & Publication are its main areas of focus. Over the years ideas and esoteric and occult philosophy of various individual practitioners have been a focus of exploration and research within TAGC projects, but there is always connections to other areas of research within those projects, in some our aim is to highlight and discover new connections and correspondences between systems of thought and the systems of technics similar to Bernard Stiegler's concept of technics which has emerged recently as an important contribution to studies of the relation between technology, time and the human spirit by exploring the possibilities of the technology of spirit, to bring forth a new "life of the mind".

The primary concern of TAGC is the systematic research and development and documentation and the expansion of the connections and concepts that are explored and experimented within the fabric of Sound and Vision , and its theoretical possibilities and its advancement in the study and expansion of Consciousness ,wether via applied use of computers and audio-visual technology or via arcane systems of Magick or other Esoteric and Occult techniques and Experimental Alternative Sciences.
