COVID has taken our reliance on software to the next level. We now rely on software for managing our days from the moment we wake up until we go to sleep. Software predicts the future based on fixed patterns from the past. It produces procedures instead of experiences and solutions instead of care. On the other hand, fortune-telling is an ancient language of change. It elucidates, unlearns, and reworks patterns. How can the art of fortune-telling guide us to rethink software as systems of healing?
Using different cultures’ patterns surrounding fortune-telling as a source, we will collectively determine patterns for our own fortune-telling Instagram filter in Part One on March 2. Then join us for Part Two on March 4 when we take our patterns and code our own Instagram filter using Spark AR.
