Divination Powder
01 / INHERITANCE
Begin with the context.
Powder placed on the divination tray so signs can be inscribed during consultation; documented in accounts of Yorùbá divination and naming.
Place & variation
Yorùbá divinatory traditions. Terminology, authority and practice depend on a practitioner’s training and community.
02 / SYSTEM — EDITORIAL ANALYSIS
Knowledge & interpretation.
An erasable surface supports inscription without making permanence a requirement.
This is the archive’s reading of a structure or relationship, not a claim that the tradition was designed as a modern technology.
03 / FUTURE — INHERITED FUTURES SPECULATION
What forms of knowledge deserve to disappear after use?
Temporary writable memory. Information appears, is interpreted, then can disappear.
An artistic proposition to explore. Historical documentation does not establish the technological analogy.
