Background of MysticTarot22
The Background Music is from the Band of Neil Taylor, who was also the main programmer for this project. Neil also set up the positioning of the piece. Your Tarot Card reader is Julie Johnson, who also did film editing & rendition.
The back of the Tarot card deck is designed by Julie Johnson and the main deck pictures are from the Rider-Waite deck which is not under copyright.
The idea of this program was proposed by Julie Johnson who is very interested in the "random" function of Processing being related to the randomness of true to life card-readings. The program shows how emotional and personal synchronicities are not just limited to "real-life" interactions but also extend to the cyber-world.
