The Contemporary Art of Divination

This lecture occurred on 9/4/19 at The American Corner in Sofia, Bulgaria at the invitation of the US Embassy in Sofia. It summarizes a trajectory of my research that spans four years where I explore, apply and reveal magical thinking in cultural production. It also attempts to breakdown the meaning and purpose of art as one that has been misnamed and controlled to distance it from its actual potential. If you have ever been interested in my work connected with conspiracy theory, pseudoscience or the occult; this is the bride stripped bare.
Thank you to World Learning, the US Embassy, Sariev Gallery and Vesselina Sarieva for making this possible.
Thank you to the artist Kalin Serapionov for documenting and editing this lecture.
