Umetnički projekat “Simboli dobre i loše sudbine” predstavlja parafrazu onlajn igre na temu proricanja sudbine. Cilj projekta je istraživanje osećanja i očekivanja koja se javljaju kod publike tokom igranja internet igara na sreću. Kroz projekat se, takođe, razmatraju vrste odnosa koje svesno gradimo prema ustaljenim simbolima, ideogramima, piktogramima i kako formulišemo svoje želje i egzistencijalna pitanja. Vođeni kroz polja negativnih i pozitivnih simbola, korisnici web sajta na svoje anonimno postavljeno pitanje dobijaju odgovor u vidu “sudbonosne rečenice” i subverzivnog video kolaža koji implicitno upućuje kritičku poruku prema čovečanstvu i podseća da su naše želje često egocentrične i sebične.
