[-empyre-] Chani Nicholas Astrology App

[xDxD.vs.xDxD]

hello Jennifer and everyone

for those who don't know him, I once met this brilliant artist in Scotland:
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3064857.3079186

He was presenting his work on possibilistic evolutions of astrology.

in the past, if you had no stars, many bad things could happen to you,
like, for example, getting lost at sea. Hence the origin of the word
disaster: dis-aster, without stars

now there are new star in the sky: satellites
and still you get lost without them, you cannot communicate, and other
disasters

At the time I found the concept very beautiful and narrated with extreme
simplicity

kind wishes
Salvatore
