Sybil Montet ‘I SCRY’ by Sybil Montet is a digital meditation on post-humanist futures. The poetical essay investigates speculative correlations between ancient esoteric traditions such as divination and numerology, and predictive algorithm technologies. As French anthropologist Christophe Lazaro points out in his 2018 paper ‘The Divinatory power of algorithms’, Big Data could be the “new celestial bodies”, in relation to the ancient practice of astrology.
