The video traces parallels between divination rituals and predictive analytics. It explores their respective poetics, politics and aesthetics, and their inscribed notions of time and power. Blurred, superimposed and homogenized images play on apophenia and pattern recognition as their dominant mode of perception. A text, partly cut-up, partly written, partly AI-generated, stitches together diverging narratives, contradicting arguments and counter-intuitive references into an essayistic whole, suggesting causalities due to its linearity.
This project is part of the new joint research-based master's program in Design & Computation from the cooperation between the University of the Arts Berlin and the Technische Universität Berlin.
