In ancient Egypt and Greece, the symbol of the serpent eating its own tail played an important role in magic, Gnosticism, and Alchemy. 4000 years later, the “Ouroboros” also became a founding notion in Cybernetics, making it all the way in blockchain infrastructures today. Created through conversations with the AI-powered responsive technology ChatGPT, Ourboros is part ritual, part lecture, investigating symbols of eternity within our digital futures.
