Filmed with a dozen small body-mounted cameras, the documentary epic Leviathan plunges the viewer into the obscure waters surrounding Bedford, Massachusetts, once the world’s whaling capital, from where Herman Melville’s Pequod set sail in Moby Dick (1851). At the heaving waterline, fish and fishermen punctuate the darkness as the engines grind on through the night. What began as an investigation into the fishing industry becomes a study in the even greater struggle between humans, machines and nature.

Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
