"The Randomizer" and the text sources: ORQ's potential answers for your question. Photo: Priscilla Stadler
The Oracle of Random Quotes [ORQ] is an interactive project that invites visitors to use random texts to answer a question - and to dialogue about the ways we make meaning. About 120 consultations have been provided for those who are grappling with questions, needing advice, enmeshed in a quandary, facing a conundrum, deciphering a dilemma, involved in an embroglio, or just plain curious. Skeptics and believers alike are welcome to consult with ORQ whenever it is available. ORQ references a millenia-old practice of divination, known as bibliomancy (divination by reading books), or stychomancy (divination by reading lines).
