Generative software divination.
Opening presentation of Xenopoem Conference 2026, initiating the conference’s new structure on June 5. With excerpts of interlocution by Andrew Wenaus.
A noisy interactive device exploring posthuman contingencies: how bodies and technical devices amplify, contaminate, and alter one another.
19,270^3 combinations. Each reading is unique to its user. The experience seeks to provoke reflection through maximalist combinatorics, sensory saturation, and a feedback loop between algorithmic generative AI models and the human engaging in the experience.
This project aims to deepen the speculative potential of tarot as described by the Italian technoccult organisation Gruppo di Nun: "Tarot makes manifest the idea that the cosmos is a cybernetic organism in a continuous process of recombination".
“The work is a machine for producing conditions of emergence. The event occurs in that unstable space between algorithmic generation and human interpretation.”
