Secrets to selling your design services is an interactive performance demonstrating the seducing aspects of buying and selling design services. Design duo Xsenofemme will invite the audience to join them in a live negotiation process, which will ideally result in the signing of a contract, and the formalization of a sale.
Design exists because of a very elemental human need to satisfy a certain desire for beauty, a lust for forms, a pleasure derived from owning. Design fairs like Salone del Mobile, become places where designers sell themselves more than their objects, since objects alone are not enough anymore for the voracious audience. They are used to selling parts of their corporeal identity such as specialized crafts, unique techniques, and the overall invisible physical choreography of labor behind their projects. The deepest desire of the designer becomes the one to be owned, to be bought just like its objects. The designers' financial dream is represented by the buyer, who expresses the complementary desire to own, to buy. The designer and the buyer, then enter in a waltz of negotiating ownership.

Digital Esoterism delves with how divination tools can help reclaiming agency over the realm of Big data, that operating in the spirit of surveillance capitalism, turned into a magical entity that predicts -and programs- the future.
Reaching into the origin of divination can change the way we perceive modern predictive systems, exposing the structures which often, without our consent and knowledge, guide our choices and actions.
The rediscovery of the role of witchcraft and magic in contemporary times has broad participation of scholars, artists and designers, yet it seems rather unexplored how classical divination tools, by their way of decoding and interpreting signs, can help take back ownership of the totalizing claims of global surveillance over our futures.
Through the methodology of Tarot readings specifically, modern predictions are read to negotiate new meanings and interpretations into important reflections of one’s digital self.
