Any material can become a medium for divination, provided it lends itself to counting, generates randomness, or facilitates an altered state of consciousness. There is therefore nothing to prevent an artwork from becoming a divinatory tool in its own right. Without directly referring to mantic or esoteric practices, the works that make up Demande au vide open up an oracular time, shaped by repetitions and meaningful coincidences.
