‘WIRE TRANSFER’ IS A TRIPTYCH OF TASBIH SCULPTURES MADE FROM REPURPOSED PRAYER BEADS RESTRUNG ONTO DOMESTIC WIRING: COPPER ELECTRICAL CABLE, EXPOSED ETHERNET, AND A EUROPEAN AC PLUG. EACH STRAND MIRRORS BEAD-NUMBERINGS USED IN DIFFERENT SUFI LITANIES, MERGING DEVOTIONAL LINKS TO THE DIVINE, WITH THE INSTANTANEOUS FLOW OF POWER & DATA ACROSS UNDERGROUND CABLES AND WIRE TRANSFERS. THE WORK IMAGINES THE INSTANTANEOUS PRAYERS AS A CASE STUDY FOR THE INSTANNTANEOUS TRANSFER WHICH TRANSHUMANISTS POSIT MIGHT “UPLOAD THE SOUL”. IT ALSO REFLECTS ON HOW EARLY EUROPEAN MODERNISM (JUNG, STEINER AND GURDJIEFF) ABSORBED WARPED ORIENTALIST TRANSMISSIONS OR ‘TRANSFERS’ OF ISLAMIC METAPHYSICS, IDEAS THAT TRAVELLED THROUGH 70S COUNTERCULTURE INTO TODAY’S CALIFORNIAN TECHNO-UTOPIAN TRANSHUMANISM. AN ORIGINALLY ISLAMIC, SPIRITUAL IDEA, MEDITATED WITH THESE EXACT STYLE PRAYER BEADS LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR THE SPIRITUALISM THAT DIRECTLY SHAPED SILICON VALLEY’S CURRENT DESIRE TO ‘WIRE TRANSFER’ UNTIL OUR SOULS TRANSFER. THE SCULPTURES SPECULATE ON THE ORIENT-DERIVED INFRASTRUCTURAL AND SPIRITUAL ‘SOURCES’ SHAPING POTENTIAL OCCIDENTAL POST-HUMAN FUTURES.
