Would you use a technologically inspired tarot deck?

The title of this image is “Spiritual Technologies” or “The Technium”. The mediums used were all digital, including tools such as Photoshop. This particular card is not intended to be included in a deck, but acts as a promethean template for upcoming cards; those that will make it into a deck.
The meaning of this piece is the fusion of humanity and computers. Which is (IMO) at the forefront of relevancy in terms of humanity’s near future. Whether one is studying Transhumanism, Cyberpunk storylines, Technoshamanism or anything else related, it is the integration of technologies into the human experience/body that is the nexus of our impending transition to digital consciousness. Or a future equivalent.
This (as mentioned above) is a concept card for a larger tarot deck that will be released, for free, sometime over the next twelve months. The reception that this particular image has received has been overwhelming. So I thought I would post it here, where the Reddit Tarot community exists.
I am happy to answer any questions about this image.

Yes love it! I would 100% be interested in a deck like this.
-
:0 it looks interesting and cool! Will these cards have the same names as the traditional ones??? I’d like to know how you’d interpret these!
-
This is gorgeous!! Keep it up!
-
Cool artwork and concept! I would totally be in to a transhuman/ post-singularity themed deck
-
As long as it has deep symbolism and spiritual influences, yes!
-
YES OMG
You know what also would be awesome? A cyberpunk deck omgomg
-
Reminds me of old Giger’s work
-
I really like this style and concept! Everyone is interested in something and I definitely see people interested in a tech inspired deck.
-
Sure!
-
Of course I would use a tech inspired deck! The style is gorgeous, even though it’s just a sketch, and I’m never against some truly modern interpretation!
We live with technology since decades and we’re not gone abandone it unless something apocalyptic happens. The fusion of tech and humans is the future and our present too. I’m my viewpoint, tarot is the journey of the human consciousness and technology is already a part of that. -
Will there be a Kickstarter project or something like that for this? I would like to know if/when it comes out!
-
I would, looks awesome. It would be colored or black and white?
Are you the artist? If so, Why did you choose to work with this concept?
-
Wow this concept flashes me back to the early internet days of the 90s.
-
Absolutely.
I have another cyberpunk themed deck I use regularly, and absolutely love. Would be very keen for more decks in a similar vein.
