Featured Project: Magpie Tarot, Jory Dayne

Jory created an experimental oracle modeled on the Tarot de Marseille & The Mabinogi, built in Python and illustrated in dialog with generative tools.
“ It was built on my love of the Mabinogi, medieval pilgrim badges, and schariwari amulets.” - Jory Dayne
Jory created a tarot interface in Python, working off the lessons in Intro to Python.
Each amulet is a collage Jory built out of raw material generated with Midjourney using zeroshot-, image-, blend-, and remix-prompts using photos from the Celtic collection at the British Museum and more.

STUDENT PROJECTS

Katie began work on a long term project combining sound and music with her Tarot App. We’ll continue to work toether to esure her unique vision is realized.
Soren learned how to build a Tarot App using libraries like Tkinter, Pillow and random. This allowed them to customize the graphics & fonts. Check out the pop-up window with a crystal ball that points at the images “traveling through the ether.”
Juliet learned how to prompt DALLE-3 using the OpenAI API in Python, resulting in this deck that is a synthesis of two influences she chose: Alister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot Deck and the work of artist Hilma af Klint.
Jane learned how to make a Tarot App that dynamically generated cards using OpenAI. Although her text prompts were the same for each card, the resulting card was always unique!
