This week we are welcoming author, artist, and student of astrology, Arturo Martinini to talk about Arturo's most recently published book through Revelore Press titled, The Oracle of DelphAI, an artistic rendition of the astrological image talismans representative of the seven traditional planets, the zodiacal signs, the decans, the fixed stars, and the lunar mansions co-created by Arturo with a little help from a non-human entity, that of AI. We discuss the ethical and ontological nature of using such a tool in talismanic creation, Arturo's process in creating the book, and how other practitioners might find the book useful. This convo is an open dialog on embarking wild new technological frontiers, as well as, the ethics and ethos in the praxis of confronting the other and human’s relationship to technological unknowns, as well as, one’s ability to navigate capital and the need to access power and agency for one’s self in the world. I quite enjoyed this conversation with a dear friend, and hope it opens up a dialog of critical questions and theories on the intersection between magic, technology, and art for you.
To support this project and get a copy of the book for yourself, head over to the Revelore Press website to purchase it here. Feel free to also contact Arturo via email at [email protected]
