‘I have written a blasphemous book’, said Melville when his novel was first published in 1851, ‘and I feel as spotless as the lamb’. Deeply subversive, in almost every way imaginable, Moby-Dick is a virtual, alternative bible – and as such, ripe for reinterpretation in this new world of new media. Out of Dominion was born its bastard child – or perhaps its immaculate conception – the Moby-Dick Big Read: an online version of Melville’s magisterial tome: each of its 135 chapters read out aloud, by a mixture of the celebrated and the unknown, to be broadcast online, one new chapter each day, in a sequence of 135 downloads, publicly and freely accessible.

‘Zosimos of Panoplies’ is an ancient Egyptian alchemist who lived in the 3rd century AD in Panoplies, located in upper Egypt and known nowadays as Akhmim. He wrote ‘Cheirokmeta’, the oldest collection of alchemy books. Zosimos was also a Gnostic mystic and provided a very spiritual definition of alchemy by studying “the composition of waters, movement, growth, bodying and disembodying, drawing the spirits from bodies and bonding the spirits within bodies”. He is most famous for ‘The Visions of Zosimos’, a sequence of dreams or mystic visions that he interpreted as signs that lead to some of his alchemical experiments. Through these experiments, Zosimos reveals and explains a lot of alchemical basics, as well as the universe. These explanations can sometimes be interpreted as spiritual wisdom.
