People are very ingenuine in self-expression forms.Selfies are already the “yesterday”. The Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben found a way to tell about himself describing the cabinets in which he had ever worked and the stuff there. He even goes further and through stories of and about his friends, poets, philosophers and artist he describes his own portrait. It is not cool to talk about yourself, but if you name and describe Martin Heidegger’s seminars or Hannah Arendt’s books, then readers would get the idea about how epic you are. Agamben’s stories are a kind of a sentimental poetic essay but with elements of historical references, so his reader does not see the revelations of a philosopher who is admiring himself. We get a document of an era, a detailed journey through the 20th century

From time immemorial people have been foreseeing on maps, tea leaves, coffee grounds, chicken blood, egg yolks, stars and even their own bodies. But why to call the spirits of dead geniuses during esoteric session and twirl a saucer when living in a civilized world? Use Art Oraclesinstead - you can direct your question to Albrecht Dürer, Leonardo Da Vinci, Francisco Goya, William Blake, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Salvador Dali, Frida Kahlo, Diane Arbus, Andy Warhol and other great masters. They will tell you about your fate and a little about their own. This is a game for everyone who loves creative stuff. A set of 50 cards with 150 predictions that are distributed by the greatest ists. The author of the game is Elephant’s essayist and Mark’s writing editor Katya Tylevich. Her oracles in the game are the masters who were extraordinary personalities: strong and abrupt, who somehow changed the world. While playing the game you can make a creative portrait of artists, find out what they are famous for and how they perceived art. A Dane, Mikkel Sommer Christensen, drew very cool illustrations with an attempt to convey inner world of each artist. In the Arts Oraclesthe principle of ”tarot” cards is used - mentally or loud you ask a question to which people close to you are unlikely to be able to give a definite answer. These may be philosophical doubts or something like “How do I become a famous author?”. When you have formulated a question – draw a card.
