Blessed by the Algorithm

This work explores the fusion of spirituality and technology by interpreting algorithms as divine agents. Drawing on research into online spirituality and conspirituality, the work examines how digital platforms are creating new spaces for spiritual practices. Inspired by New Age aesthetics and TikTok manifesting culture, it reveals how algorithms take on divine roles. An interactive oracle transforms personal data into prophetic messages, reflecting on the politics of belief and the blurred line between spiritual insight and algorithmic manipulation.
