In Estonia we mention with some pride that we’re one of the most atheist countries in the world. However, studies show that most people do believe in something supernatural: karma, omens, angels, talismans… It seems that a chasm separates science and superstition. It feels shameful – or spiteful – to admit to reading the horoscope or interpreting my dreams. Is it possible to call oneself a sensible, contemporary person and yet believe in ideas that are fuzzy or under-researched? A dialogue between modern technical solutions and archaic superstitions aims to reconciliate the two worldviews. I conclude that the thoughts, emotions and mechanisms of superstitious practices appear almost unnoticeably, regardless of the context or the science-based technological medium, and are present in every stage of our lives – helping us cope emotionally, evolutionally and also scientifically.
Visitors are invited to view the 360-degree videos displayed on smartphones in the exhibition and try on and customize a headpiece when the artist is present.
