[@user-kg7qu8th7c]

Please just consider: Just because the website references content from subgenius it doesn't mean, that it actually belongs to it. Also even if it does, subgenius itself might be an occult organization hiding behind "art" just as Marina Abramovic. LHOHQ Surely depicts a ton of randomness and randomness is always associated with humor. But there clearly is stuff on this website that only people could put there who have a deep knowledge of things that are not supposed to be known to the average guy. Those kind of videos might be an expression of art but this is also the kind of stuff that would be used by the CIA for MK Ultra and psychological torture. The amount of occult symbolism speaks volumes.

[@funnyman7048]

this reminded me of the anime series cowboy bebop's episode: 'brain scratch', which covers a topic similar to what this whole thing is about. the interesting part of it is that, the "cult" portrayed in the show, originated from the mind of a very young hacker who fell in coma after a medical negligence. he tried to "control" the minds of people with religious and very philosophical imaginery sent with high frecuency pulse he somehow manipulated within his vegetative state in a hospital. the cult ideals and media used to "brain wash" kinda resembles the video you showed at the start, it's trippy and it leaves you thinking for a bit. nice!

Madhouse was ran by Carlito (who passed away 3 years ago) and at random would shout HORSE and some of the prank calls revolved around the subject because he went to a ranch his family had in Puerto Rico during the summer. Also New Mexico was frequently used by Brad from Phone Losers of America (AKA PLA). I don't know if the artists were inspired by them but some of the things I saw on that page reminds me of things they would do on a webpage level.

I first heard mention of the church of the Subgenius (Church of "Bob" the Subgenuis) after listening to a radio show called "Over the Edge" in the late 80's early 90's. The radio show, done by a group named "Negative Land" was broadcast on KPFA in Berkeley in the late 80's early 90's, and was on around midnight. On the show, the content consisted of storytelling, bizarre audio collages, and listener interaction via call ins. Very "Devoesque". You basically could say whatever you wanted. My friends and I used to often listen and participate during the late 80's and early 90's. Some of the characters on the show were: the Weatherman (useless, seedless) and Metallurgy Man. Sometime in the 2000's I saw that "Over the Edge" was being sold in later years on CD. I don't know if Negative Land is affiliated with LHOHQ. Negative Land was based in in the San Francisco Bay Area to my knowledge, not Milwaukee. LHOHQ seems like an example of Net Art to me, it is exactly the kind of thing someone from Negative Land would pull. Intriguing, and with material that does not make a lot of sense. A former friend of mine, named Mike, worked for KPFA in the mid-nineties. Maybe he was "Mike 84", who knows.

I think people of a certain age see this and think, oh this is the kind of discordian weirdness my friends and I were into in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Now people see it and think it’s a cult or some kind of conspiracy 😆 I almost wish I could time travel back to myself at 18 to say “in 30 years people are going to think this is so deep!” 18 year old me would think that was hilarious.

[@jemmapellemma8185]

As an art nerd it's a shame Jorge does not say more about the Dada aspect. While he touches on LHOOQ there is so much that LHOHQ references that is missing from this analysis. Both horses and smoking-pipes are like cult objects with Dada-and-friends, as is nudity and comedic or bizarre nudity and sexuality. The whole project has a Tristan Tzara play feel to it with its lure-in and then subversion of expectations, in this case with deep conspiracy. Including politics like this is Dada too. I remember several ridiculously similar "net-art" rabbit-hole sites from the 2000s and I wonder if any can be recovered. There was a bit of a 'neo-dadaist' wave in a lot of art and music but it was generally so irreverent that it didn't archive itself.

[@natejewell8002]

100% an online art instillation. An uncle of a friend did film work and lots of psychedelics with some of the people who formed this club. This was long before the website was created, he hadn’t heard of it before but for sure thought it wasn’t anything super deep and dangerous.

lol. The Church of the Subgenius was started by a couple of unemployed stoners back in the 70s or 80s as I recall. The story was these guys and their friends were sitting around and one said "why aren't we millionaires?" Then one said "we're not geniuses." So another said "I guess we're just subgeniuses." Hence the name of the church. Their motto was "If Jim Jones could get 800 people to drink cyanide, we can get 800 people to give us a dollar." From what I remember they rented a building in Texas? and started their services which were actually "bring your own bottle/beer" affairs. They chose as their deity "Bob Dodd or Dobbs" who was the cartoon guy on all the government informational pamphlets back in the 50s and 60s. The church named the cartoon guy "Bob". I think their main thing was to raise a few bucks without really working and to also spoof on organized religion and it's nonprofit status, which I understand they had.

The material at the beginning of this lame video was often carried on Night Flight, the 1980s late night show that mostly recycled pop culture ephemera to entertain post-party people and security guards working the graveyard shift.
