tyty89 on the ocular forum says he has figured out the user/pass to the conservatory site. He's not wanting to give up the info though. Here is a link to the forum posting.

I went back to the ocular test to see if I could find anything hidden...noticed that whenever I hit the tab key a sound effect plays. Doesn't seem to happen with any other keys...
Also noticed the very center of the oculous appears to be a button...but when I click nothing seems to happen.
Also after the test and movie I was taken to Vix tattoos myspace page and it was set to private and I can't view it. Anyone else experiencing that?

Hey guys... lostpedian posted this first on another forum (but I assume he is the same guy as lostpedian here..)...
The orbs/dials are now redirecting to http://www.vixtattoos.com instead of the MySpace account. But before anyone gets too excited, it appears to be all the same content, except no more mention of myspace. I have a feeling this has to do with the fake Faith Arella myspace account that was created, and the fact that the writers probably wanted a site where they felt was more controlled.
Also wanted to let you know... I started a blog that will follow the clues from this Ocular Effect ARG very closely. I follow TLE (Lost Experience) very closely, and would like to model it after the TLEC blog, for those who are familiar with that.

(I know I'm a new user here at unfiction, but I lurk here and elsewhere... I will be back to post, so this is not just a hit-and-run ad)
Please join on and help contribute clues. I'll be checking back with this forum and the one by EWO to keep up to date as much as possible.

The puzzel now leads to http://www.vixtattoos.com/. I couldn't get that myspace link to work at all.

The page is down. Nice. Didn't want to play MySpace this whole time. That was quick work....

FYI - Faith's blog has a login link under the meta tag on the nav side bar.
This is to log in to word press in order to manage the blog. I sincerely doubt that it is something we are supposed to gain entry to, so I suggest we don't even try.

With the thought that this involves angels, I tried to compare the symbols on the oculus to some angelic script
http://www.steliart.com/angelology_celestial_alphabet.html
Some of it matches up, some of it does not. I'm not sure what to think.

Well the bottom image of that page matches with the angelic names of the Prophecy movies but that's completely off topic.

Happy Norm: That stuff you looked up on the Celestial Alphabet is interesting.
Here's some other research... from wikipedia:
Quote:
Oculus is the Latin word for eye. The word Oculus remains in use in certain contexts, most commonly as the name of the round opening in the top of the dome of the Pantheon in Rome, Italy, and less often in reference to other round windows. The opening of the Oculus in the Pantheon is and has always been open to the weather, allowing rain to enter and fall to the floor, from where it is carried away through drains in the floor. In this picture, sunlight streams through the opening striking the lower part of the dome. The bright opening and the surrounding smooth concrete above the coffering bears a resemblance to an eye, giving the opening its name.
While oculus is not in common use in English, words derived from it such as ocular (relating to the eye) are, primarily in medical and optical fields. Also, the terms Oculus Dexter (right eye), Oculus Sinister (left eye), and Oculus Uturque (both eyes) are used in medicine, usually abbreviated OD, OS, and OU, respectively.
In archaeology, oculus is the name of a motif found in western European prehistoric art. It consists of a pair of circular or spiral marks, often interpreted as eyes and appears on pottery, statues and megaliths. It may represent the watchful gaze of a god or goddess (see dolmen deity for example) and was especially common during the Neolithic.
Make note of the last paragraph... I'll probably look at this more in depth later.
We also looked up the Latin translation at the top of the main http://www.oculareffect.com/ page... it is a quote by Julias Caesar, that means:
Quote:
Generally human beings believe what they want to believe

Thanks! I'll try this trick tomorrow. Looks like perhaps the issue is now a non-issue.
Here's hoping.

I did a little more searching on the Oculus, and found that in Roman architecture, it was incorporated into the Pantheon of Rome, for use as a sun observatory. I think the quote by Julius Caesar may tie into some of this. I didn't find a lot of references to the oculus used in general occult and paranormal studies as EWO suggests on his front page, so I'm not sure what he's talking about there... aside from the general fact that 'oculus' means 'eye' in Latin.
I included my references in the OE page under the "Concentric Rings " subforum.
