flux.vision, tobias.raayoni-last.com and randogoth.com. They were one site until October 2026, serving four audiences from a single dated list, which is the only format that can hold unrelated things at once. flux.vision is recovered from the Wayback Machine, where it had sat since being deleted in 2021: 90 articles, closed and maintained rather than updated. tobias.raayoni-last.com is the professional record, 97 articles back to 1999. randogoth.com is the technical work, 41 articles across six areas, served as an ANSI bulletin board. History starts here deliberately. The development history, the 266-row inventory that records why each article went where it did, the Wayback pipelines, the pruned articles, the source archives and the full-size images are kept beside the repo rather than in it, so a clone is the web presence and not the argument that produced it. REFACTOR.md is gitignored for the same reason. See README.md for where that material lives, and keep it: the sort is not reproducible from these three directories alone. Each site documents itself in its own README, including the traps that cost time and look like nothing when you get them wrong.

Title: Workshop at Occulture Conference Date: 2019-10-31 20:00 Category: PLACE Summary: Workshop about Spirit of Place and Randonauting
I was invited to do a workshop at the 2019 Occulture Esoteric Conference in Berlin. The topic of my presentation was "Close Encounters With Placeness":
In this workshop we will explore different perspectives on approaching "spirits of place." Taking Berlin as a subject we will take a closer look at some of its psychogeography, and mythology, moody river gods and places of power. One goal is to examine together how to interface with "placeness" as an art and magical practice. An easy and exciting method of doing so is "Randonauting", the exploration of places determined by a set of geographic coordinates calculated by a quantum random number generator. The initial goal of this technique developed by the "Fatum Project" was to see what happens when people visit arbitrary locations. It unexpectedly led the randonauts to discoveries of strange places, weird artifacts and even mystical journeys. In the workshop an introduction to the method will be given and how it can be applied to set off synchronicities, how to use it for divination or other magical applications, or simply for exploring familiar as well as foreign places for fun.
