KEMlike

KEMlike is a term used to describe a type of performance art or creative expression that emulates or is heavily inspired by the work of the artist Genesis P-Orridge, particularly their musical and artistic projects. The name itself is a portmanteau of "KEM," a reference to Psychic TV's album "Thee Psychick Bible," and "like," indicating a resemblance or affinity.

Artists associated with the KEMlike aesthetic often explore themes of ritual, consciousness expansion, occultism, and transgressive art. Their work can manifest in various forms, including music, visual art, performance, and written pieces. A common characteristic is the use of unconventional materials and methods, often challenging traditional artistic boundaries. The influence of P-Orridge's concept of "Brahman" and their exploration of identity and duality are frequently referenced or echoed in KEMlike creations.

The KEMlike movement, while not a formally organized group, represents a lineage of artistic thought that draws directly from the conceptual and aesthetic foundations laid by Genesis P-Orridge. It signifies a continuation and adaptation of their radical artistic vision for contemporary audiences and artistic contexts. Those who identify with or are inspired by KEMlike often share a passion for challenging societal norms and exploring the deeper, often hidden, aspects of human experience.
