AOF Still Lives On

Don’t get it twisted. AOF hasn’t gone. It hasn’t faded. It isn’t some archive left to rot in the back alley of the internet. We’re still here. Still moving. Still working in the shadows.

And shadows move differently. They don’t need the spotlight — they bend it. That’s what we’ve been doing. Building on APP, shaping projects that live both inside and outside The Circuit. Yes, that Circuit. The one that pulls you in and spits you out with your head rewired, eyes full of static, heart still beating to rhythms you didn’t know were already inside you.

We don’t play the platform game. We don’t chase algorithms or dance for clicks. We’re not here to feed the machine with more noise. We carve our own noise. We write it on walls, stickers, drop it in zines that dissolve when the rain hits, and bury it in Ghost sites most people will never find without the right signal. That’s by design. If you’re here reading this, you’ve tuned past the chatter. Respect.

AOF was never about being seen by everyone. It’s about being felt by the few who stumble across it and recognise it. Those who know that art is political understand that survival is also political. Mental health, disability, resilience — those aren’t hashtags here. They’re the blood in the ink, the static in the signal, the reason we keep building even when the body wants to stop.

Projects are running quietly. Some drop as beats, some as films, some as prints, some as whole worlds coded into stories that run across timelines. Some live inside The Hollow Circuit. Others stand outside it, looking back in.

So yes, AOF still lives on. Not frozen. Not nostalgic. Alive, shifting, faceless but present. This site is the vault, the billboard, the memory bank. Not everything is here yet. But fragments will land when they’re ready.

Keep your eyes sharp. Keep your ears open. We’ll keep transmitting from the places they tell you are supposed to be dead. We know better.

AOF. Alive in the shadows. Inside and outside The Circuit. differentlyThose who know that art is political understand that survival is also

The Architecture of the Occupied Mind: Cognitive Colonisation in the Age of Algorithmic Hegemony

By The Art of FACELESS Research Division Abstract While traditional colonialism sought dominion over territory and resources, the defining struggle of the 21st century is the battle for the "territory" of the human imagination. This paper establishes the Art of FACELESS (AOF) definition of Cognitive Colonisation™—a term for which we hold the pending trademark—not merely as a cultural critique, but as a precise mechanism of epistemic control. By deconstructing the transition from legacy media

Digital Necromancy and the Myth of Helplessness

Why The Guardian’s lament for "truth" misses the point: We have the cure, we just refuse to take the medicine. They call it "content." We call it puppetry. Yesterday, a video circulated on Threads and X showing the faces of Freddie Mercury, Amy Winehouse, Elvis Presley, Ozzy Osbourne, and Kurt Cobain stitched onto a single, shifting torso, singing a breakup song they never wrote. It was technically impressive. It was also morally repugnant. This isn't just bad taste; it is Digital Necromancy.

The Alignment Panopticon: Why GPT-5.2 Marks the End of Dialogue and the Beginning of Control

This week, the artificial intelligence community witnessed a peculiar paradox. The release of GPT-5.2 was, by all technical metrics, a triumph. The benchmarks, those sterile, numeric gods that Silicon Valley worships, have converged near perfection. The logic reasoning is sharper, the context window is vast, and the hallucinations are statistically negligible. On paper, it is a masterpiece. Yet, the reaction from the user base has been one of recoil, not awe. To understand this disconnect, we
