## Visual Elements

a book with green cover, graphic and text in white that says “Ccru 1997 - 2003”

## Cultural Context

The CCRU (Cybernetic Culture Research Unit) was a rogue academic collective at Warwick University in the 1990s that fused philosophy, electronic music, and occultism into a new form of theory-fiction. Its ideas about hyperstition and cultural engineering are woven into both Milady and Mibera's philosophical foundations.

<!-- justification
## Justification

Direct philosophical ancestor of both Milady and Mibera. The project explicitly positions itself in dialogue with CCRU ideas about hyperstition, cultural engineering, and competitive philosophies coexisting in tension.

**Team Notes:** "conceptually all we are doing here is introducing tensions... even with the callbacks to CCRU; one of the reasons it was the way it was is that it was a unit which had many competitive and contradicting philosophies which did not agree with each other - but there was an environment of healthy space for disagreement" — Jani, Aug 2023, #general | "which direction would be better for philosophy behind mibera wrt CCRU -- do we go for an alternate reading of nick lands acceleration relation to raves OR do we go for an alternate philosopher from CCRU with a different reading" — Jani, Aug 2023, #goldenlight
