The Cyber Art is a chance to create another world the way we see it: a machine as a system whose internal state, together with the state of the environment, dictates the next state. (...) Ladies and Gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts and we’re off into the Vacation of the Future. A robot futuristic, western-themed playing cards."

Monsters, aliens, ghosts… Each place contains its deepest and darkest secret that not many people know but has been frightening the masses for decades. Some things that are embedded deep into the culture of the place, that the brave-hearted would dare to explore the matter. “We make up horrors to cope with the real ones.” - Stephen King As Stephen King once said, “We make up horrors to cope with the real ones.”, we have brought along our creativity and created something different, something only the brave-hearted would dare to explore, something in another dimension. Literally.

A deck of 55 poker format cards will be released in two color versions - amethyst and turquoise - enriched with intricate ornaments and black details emphasizing their dark and otherworldly character. The boxes for the individual decks will have a golden finish, as will the box containing both decks, which will also be enriched with gold ornamentation.

The leitmotif is a mysterious labyrinth located both on the reverse and the obverse of the cards. It is inscribed, among others, in a circle symbolizing infinity, absolute, and eternity, as well as a hexagon referring to unbridled powers far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Which way - and more importantly - where is the road leading to?

Fascinating colors, rarely found in nature. Turquoise symbolizing immortality and eternity, and the amethyst color that helps to keep a sober mind and control raging senses. Both are broken with royal gold and dark black, giving the decks a disturbingly fascinating character. What does it mean? The colors of the ocean depths, or maybe the depths of madness?
