Terence McKenna’s Timewave Zero theory proposed that the I Ching’s 64 hexagrams contain a mathematical formula for calculating the end of time: a threshold singularity where everything changes.
Step inside Brandon Tay’s HEX STATE SERVER exhibition for 𝘐𝘯 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘛𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺, an hour-long live-action roleplay where up to 20 participants become computational agents navigating a speculative timeline. Using memory, speculation, and techniques from transpersonal psychotherapy, the agents collectively decode historical patterns, negotiate with infrastructural Daemons, and calibrate forecasts in the wake of a possible Contingency Event.
Designed and facilitated by Bea Xu, this LARP treats the exhibition as a site-specific domain for embodied meaning-making. Appeal to contingency or recursion. Consult the oracle. Conspire with fate.
