Listen & Watch: Liminal Choices

Part 2 of the Digital Oracle Deck Series

Hi friends! Quick note:

I’m making some changes to this newsletter cadence to set myself up for sustainability as a writer, educator, researcher & artist. Moving forward, both free & paid subscribers will receive one email per week, alternating between creative prompts and either the full or free portion of the paid newsletter depending on subscription. This will allow me to spend more time on interesting audiovisual experimentation like in today’s post & not overwhelm your inbox.

Thanks so much for being here with me and all your wonderful feedback! Ok- here’s the regular preamble you’ll see on the free portion of the paid posts…

This series explores the symbols found on 42 oracle cards developed through co-creative play during the fall 2022 Image Word Mystery course. I’m taking a deep-dive into digital divination and meaning-making, sharing research & context while I transform these cards into animated loops for a new kind of oracle deck. To support this project & get invites to upcoming Image Word Mystery creative jams, consider becoming a paid subscriber.

Is this card The Door or The Way Through?

Is this The Threshold? Or, The Right Keys? Or is it In/Out?

And how does your perception change when I show it to you in motion?

Take a look at these two different test animations I made for this card and tell me what you see:
