The Reflecting Pool

Sindhu Kruttiventi

Thousands of tiny words drifting across a deep blue field and gathering into the shape of a hand.
The same deep blue field with a glowing streak of light and the line “What you seek is seeking you.”

People once gazed into water for answers, now we ask algorithms. Both turn uncertainty into an answer we are asked to trust. In The Reflecting Pool, a machine reads your hesitation and tremor and predicts a reply. Does an answer feel more trustworthy because a computer gave it, or less?
