About BLAXXKY
BLAXXKY is a media project exploring the intersections between the future, space, the weird, and the unknown.
BLAXXKY operates mainly in cyberspace through media, art, virtual reality (VR), events, zines for education and fun. We are inspired by the likes of Mondo 2000, Extropy, and the Whole Earth Catalog.
High Quality Weirdness is our motto.
BLAXXKY serves as the interconnection zone that transmits and distributes the aggregate insights emerging from Black Sky Society, which is a place of power that unites visionaries, scientists, mystics, and technologists exploring the frontiers of consciousness, existence, and expansion.
Blaxxky is paywalled for subscribers only, with occasional free posts.
We publish old fashioned text, audio/video podcasts, and VR experiences/events.
Some old posts are republished with other material in a free zine that we issue every now and then. Zine issues are also distributed as PDF documents on torrent and other p2p networks. With the zine, digitally signed, we protect and preserve our content in case the bad guys want to censor and cancel us.
The zine emulates those old zines (like the late lamented Extropy that made the history of futurist ideas. To reproduce the old good “letters to the editor” we include in the zine selected comments posted here or to the p2p networks where the zine is distributed, or emailed to mail@blaxxky.com. The commenters who want anonymity are encouraged to use secure and untraceable email.
Branding
This website is called BLAXXKY (or Blaxxky, or blaxxky) dot com. It lives on Substack with the custom domain blaxxky.com. It can be accessed as https://www.blaxxky.com/ and https://blaxxky.com/ (which is redirected to https://www.blaxxky.com/). https://blaxxky.substack.com/ also works.
This is the icon used for this website, X and other social media. It is adapted from the drawing “Star Cluster in Hercules” by Étienne Léopold Trouvelot. Trouvelot described this and other astronomical drawings in “The Trouvelot astronomical drawings manual” (1882), a masterpiece of 19th astronomy literature. The original drawing has other colors, but we feel this recolored version works better here.
