Your Fate 4+

YOUR FATE is a collaborative project created by the artists Allan McCollum and Matt Mullican, in which repetitive action and chance outcomes converge in the form of a fortune-telling dice game.

After the project was exhibited with Christine Burgin Gallery, New York in 2004 and Galerie Thomas Schulte in 2022, it is now being launched in a digital version in form of this app developed by Apolune and Galerie Thomas Schulte.

The way the game works:
1. Prepare yourself to throw the dice, for example by thinking of a question.
2. Swipe the 25 dice from any point on the screen.
3. Look at the dice that fell with a sign facing up, these are the signs that can help you with your question. The red die represents you, its position indicates how the signs relate to you.
4. Tap on the die for interpretation suggestions.

The dice feature a unique collection of symbols that are largely based on generic signs and logos from everyday life. Through the suggested interpretations of these universal symbols, players are addressed individually. Essentially, it is along this edge that Allan McCollum’s and Matt Mullican’s artistic practice so often teeters: oscillating from individual to universal, specific to general, part to whole.
