3 Keys - The River Oracle with The Hexists is a game of chance and 
divination in association with The Moving Forest, Act 0. It attempts to 
invoke the relationship between the divinatory functions of our 
contemporary 'influencing machines' (cybernetic systems and game theory 
using data-mining, data profiling and data protection) and traditional 
magical ones, creating new machines in the process. Using tools such as 
cards, dowsing, stick throwing to interpret phenomena in the landscape, 
historical and current, 'readings' can be cast, allowing associative 
action, language and thought to determine what might happen in the 
future, to create a path, an artwork.

In 3 Keys (version 3), participants will follow the Hackney Brook, an 
old subterranean river that begins near Finsbury Park and ends up in the 
River Lea near the site of the Olympics, using different exercises to 
interpret the landscape and cast readings. We will 'mark' the route 
along the way with objects and stories and other inscriptions. The river 
is the oracle and we are the transmission. The documentation and 
divination tools will be made available for display in the exhibition 
after the event.

3 Keys - The River Oracle is also part of the Invisible Forces 
exhibition at Furtherfield Gallery.
