MOONMOON CALENDAR

MOONMOON CALENDAR announces multicultural lunar traditions and exposes an algorithmic similarity between astrologers and Artificial Intelligence (AI) through horoscopes.

​

The project resets our way of thinking about time by reclaiming the throne from the sun back to the moon. The calendar uses fiction, non-sacred spirituality and sarcasm as a method to reflect on humanity and to imagine alternative possibilities. May it open up other forms of knowledge that are dominated by non-Western thinking.

​

MOONMOON CALENDAR lands an unconventional timeline on the calendar system. The fictive calendar is inspired by the Chinese lunisolar calendar which harmonises the two opposites; the sun and the moon.

​

MOONMOON CALENDAR rethinks horoscopes. It unveils an astrological innovation that generates predictions from data collection. Unlike the application Co-Star, the horoscope is not only a personal prediction but heavily unleashes a speculative and satirical fiction of contemporary societies. Such poetic storytelling is so complex that it feels beyond-linear. It is so clear and vague that everyone can relate.
