The Archigonium is an art project by visual artist Simon Goritschnig and writer Raphaela Edelbauer.
It is a Science Tarot designed to potentially solve all of humanity’s open questions. For this purpose, we have created 78 new card designs and crafted a unique deck. You can use the cards alone or with friends, and the accompanying booklet provides all the guidance needed for interpretation.
The Archigonium is no ordinary tarot. The set includes 78 colored cards and a booklet that explains the game and offers an interpretive text for each card design. The card designs reference ideas, processes, and objects within the sciences. Each design is closely connected to a text included in the booklet.
For every card, three components are provided to assist in interpretation: name, image, and interpretive text. The goal is to train the mind to create connections between distant elements and to find creative answers to seemingly unsolvable questions.
