Rupert Bottenberg, Claude Lalumière

An ethnographic exploration of sacred spaces designed for chance-based community decision making across cultures. This artifact examines how societies have created ritualized environments for collective gambling, divination, and fate-determination, from ancient Greek symposiums to medieval guild halls. Through architectural analysis, social anthropology, and performance studies, it investigates how the physical design of these spaces reflects deeper mythological beliefs about fate, community, and the role of chance in social organization.
