For artist Daniel Leyva, the Internet is a deeply spiritual place. On his site Digital Altars/Spiritual.org, he explains that commercial sites have become a type of what he calls “web-based faiths.” These shrines to Google, Yahoo, and Ask.com cover all the bases of good places to worship the occult: there’s Victorian-era shrines, plenty of candles, and of course, pentagrams.
Good news for those of you who couldn’t get tickets to Performa’s blockbusters! There are still free and open Performa events (a 24-hour group performance, a screening by the Gay Cable Network archive) and non-Performa exhibitions of puppets, comics, animation, and a queer experimental film festival.
