Cybergothic exists as a web of sinister rumour, haunting a subeterranean soft-labyrinth which its calls the ‘Crypt’. Buried deep within the primal sediment of the infoplex, and shrouded in a crawling fog of digital camouflage, it isn’t easy to find, but there are clues.

Hyperstitions are not representations, neither disinformation nor mythology.
