HEX STATE SERVER:EXEGESIS is a website that operates as an oracular interface for generating micro-fictions called “hex-states”. Each Hex State offers either an omen of a possible future or an echo of an alternate present. These 64 states are produced through a system derived from I Ching divination, where six units (broken or unbroken lines) are arranged into hexagrams to yield divinatory readings, adapted for the contemporary context. Each hex-state unfolds through a composite of moving image, text, and sound as well as the behaviors of the two “daemon” avatars which serve as divinatory guardians for the server itself.
