“OCCULTER BLACK BOOKS challenge the “digital rights management” model of leased media by declaring physicality the starting point of individuation and ownership. This sterile format brings focus to content and objectifies the printed page as a technologically and politically immune vehicle for ideas. Each book is a rubber-sealed flexible paperback with embossed titling. To read one, the binding must be ripped by pulling the attached metal-ended cord. Once open, frayed binding tape may be folded into to the inside of the cover to create a clean edge or left in shreds as physical evidence of first contact. The rip-cord may be used as a bookmark.” (via OCCULTER - The Alchemists Handbook by Frater Albertus)
