> “I use technology in order to hate it more properly.” Nam June Paik

Karin Valis is a freelance Berlin-based machine learning engineer and writer
with a deep passion for everything occult and weird. Her work focuses mainly on
finding conceptual resonances between the latest machine learning technology and
the esoteric. She writes Mercurial Minutes and hosts monthly meetings of the
occult and technology enthusiasts Gnostic Technology. She co-hosted workshops,
talks and panel discussions such as Arana in the Feed (Uroboros 2021), Language
in the Age of AI: Deciphering Voynich Manuscript (Trans-States 2022),
Remembering Our Future: Shamanism, Oracles and AI (NYU Shanghai 2022), Divine
Embeddings: Large Language Models and Sacred Alphabets (Occulture 2023) and
Devil in My Language Model (SWPACA 2024). She developed several occult algorithm
prototypes, co-founded a fake startup, published zines and designed a tarot
deck.
