How (100words)
The phenomenon of asking Internet to get answers is very comparable to the ancient Greek practice of relying on Oracles to seek answers in all aspects of life. In the ancient Greek period, people tend to find prophets who can deliver the message of God. The prophets took several different kinds of tools and rituals to receive the answers. Therefore I take this idea to apply on my work by taking the shape of the Greek oracle and how they go through a ritual. Moreover by using the name of different Gods and the way how they received the prophecy from the Ancient Greek period, I have created ‘The Temple of the Digital Oracle’.

Why (100words)
As the use of Internet is becoming more common and simpler, we even use it to find answers about life. However, those given by Internet, answers regarding life, found online, can be very broad and impersonal. As a result, it is rare for people to find answers that fully match their concerns about life. Despite knowing this fact, we forcefully try to fit and use them in our individual situations. Although the answers we find on the internet may seem appropriate, are they really the answers we are looking for? Rather, wouldn't it be limiting our opportunities to find answers that are more suitable to ourselves?
