In a series of conversations on the practices and histories of tarot reading, amateur radio, and raw cacao, these modest devices and rituals became vehicles for untangling colonial processes, gendered notions of technology, and transgenerational memory. Through the Web Residency, Castle of Crossed Destinies tested new formats to reach diverse audiences while building solidarity through analogue, digital, and political methodologies.

Over 2021, Castle of Crossed Destinies took shape in a series of conversations between Aouefa Amoussouvi, Olivia Berkowicz and Sasha Engelmann on the practices and histories of tarot reading, amateur radio and raw cacao. Castle of Crossed Destinies has previously been presented in three one-hour sonic works hosted by the Institute of Endotic Research (TIER) and Akademie Schloss Solitude.

During the online residency, the collective started developing a card game. The game introduces the three technologies of tarot reading, DIY pirate radio, and raw cacao, and applies guiding principles and key textures for practicing techno-feminist visions. A digital public workshop involved activities on tarot reading as tactical exercise for future dreaming, radio as medium for planetary collectivisation and raw cacao as speculative biochemical therapy.
