Reading Time Otherwise: A Tarot Deck of Temporal Theories
Reading Time Otherwise is an ongoing Research through Design (RtD) project exploring how theories and concepts of temporality can be encountered through a working tarot deck and companion workbook. RtD uses making as a mode of inquiry: designing, using, and revising an artifact becomes part of how knowledge is developed. The deck brings ideas from STS, HCI, disability studies, design, and related fields into conversation with traditional tarot, creating a material and spontaneous way to engage theory and prompt further reflection and inquiry.
This page documents that process through notes, prototype changes, workshop reflections, and questions that emerge as the deck is used and revised.
