What is dkmu?

Answer 1

The DKMU consists of two titles in one, respectively. DKMU is best known for representing the union of the two occult groups, Domus Kaotica & Marauder Underground. The DKMU is a self-styled group consisting of members from various schools of thought, with occult, psychedelic, artistic, revolutionary, scientific, activist, and philosophic overtones. The original logo consists of a grinning human skull with wings on either side, containing Nothing (zero) in the left eye, and Everything (infinity) in the right. A snake is seen protruding out from within the skull, or brain area. This symbolism in whole could take on a variety of meanings. The two MU & DK icons are usually seen in conjunction with the skull, Ellis (The Linking Sigil) on the left, and the Atomosphere (Infinite nothing star of chaos and finite everything [the atom]) on the right.

The DKMU is an international autonomous collective, but more appropriately, an artist's (philosopher's, creator's, magician's, etc.) union with roots in occult study. The type of creative movement the DKMU practices in writing, music and the visual arts is one which no doubt has roots in Dadaism, and utilizes absurdity, mess & complexity, deadpan minimalism, randomness, high brow (intelligence) & low brow (foolishness), discordian humor, or simply the antithesis of the expected given the circumstances of the creation (as in, if one would expect disorder, the result would be order for the sake of breaking expectation. Likewise, if this "rule" of opposition might be anticipated, it would be broken as well - the end result is a continuous creative change on the part of the artist and his work), and also makes frequent use of iconoclasm in all forms, although not all members adhere to these philosophies and are known to follow their own muses. In terms of the study and practice of magick, this abstract style of thinking is also used. For the DKMU member, one's psyche itself is treated as an ongoing work of art, and stranger realities are often sought & considered superior to mundane ones (granted they are beneficial in some way) simply because they are more interesting to live, "a more intense mode of existence".
