The art of fortune telling is something that is questioned on a daily basis, yet perhaps people will put more weight in it with the creation of Predictables by Dor Tal, a recent graduate from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design who is based in Tel Aviv, Israel. It is essentially a hi-tech fortune teller that display prospective events.
Made up of two components, a projector and an interactive watch, Predictables by Dor Tal corresponds with an app that uses an algorithm to search "for patterns, frameworks and links in the torrent of information that one generates though one's everyday interaction with the surrounding digital world," as written on its website. By doing so, it theoretically can predict developments in different spheres of life including career, romantic relationships, friendships and more.
