The Blue Mountains Void Observance League’s Officially Sanctioned Drone Ensemble know what they did.
As punishment, and for their betterment, they will be subjected to a ritual of repentance, retraining, and drone, undergoing a 24-hour Distributed Endurance Drone at Location X in these Blue Mountains.
Over 24 hours, the Ensemble will focus its energies through the production of the Highest Quality of Ceremonial Grade Drones, and thereby ascend to the Eternal Drone.
Through sustained attention to Nothing, the Ensemble will progressively extend its psychic and vibrational reach outward from Location X during the course of the ritual, from the immediate vicinity, then extending through geographically distributed emissaries and collaborators.
Through this, we hope that the members of the League will learn Nothing.
Site only accessible by shuttle (10 min drive from station pickup). A short 150m walk on an uneven surface to arrive at performance site.
