The Fortune Machine was created to bring a bit of mystery and magic into the day to day.
Let your fortune take you on an adventure.
This NYC Fortune installation uses a touch sensor to trigger a thermal printer that reveals out your destiny. What awaits is a magical tour around New York City.
In the future, I would like to have the inlay light up and take it out for its first installation in a park.
A sunrise and sunset lamp will mirror the glow of the sun. An adventure machine that will print out a destination across New York City or a museum that it is positioned and you have to find the location. This will require a receipt printer, hand sensors, and lights. This is a mirror that literally mirrors what is in front of it. However, you cannot see your reflection as soon as you step in front the mirror turns into a distorted material.
For my halloween costume I created a fortune teller outfit. I crafted a crystal ball out of a glass orb, brass fixture, wooden base, and vinyl printed sorcery material. The crystal ball cycled between blue and green, when the button below the base was selected a color was selected depending on where it was in the cycle. This process had a feeling of fate, which is how I helped to tell fortunes. Wearing this costume felt powerful and mystical, holding all of the world’s fate in my hands. If I had to do this again I would make my headpiece glow.

For my halloween costume I am creating a mystic fortune teller look where I carry around an all seeing crystal ball. This ball lights up green and blue and when the button is pressed the colors stop switching, this action will tell your fortune.
The base of the crystal ball is covered with a ouija board and tarot cards. My head and tights adorn stars and moons.
I will be creating a fortune teller costume with a crystal ball with a mystic outfit. Imagine some cross between witch and palm reader.
Open hand with the all-seeing eye on the palm. Occult design vector illustration. Dotwork ink tattoo flash design. Vector illustration isolated on white. Astrology, Sacred Spirit. Masonic sign.
