AI played a deliberate role in the creation of The Invisible Order Oracle. Artist Daniel Martin Diaz trained an AI model on his own sketches and visual language, then meticulously reworked every card by hand—reshaping faces, refining symbols, and layering in the mystical textures that define his art.
This process continues themes explored in Diaz’s books Soul of Science and Iconoclasm, which examine the evolving relationship between art, technology, and the human spirit. The Invisible Order extends that inquiry, asking how creators can engage with powerful new tools without surrendering their humanity.
For Diaz, AI is not a substitute for imagination—it’s a lens that reflects our time. Each card becomes a dialogue between intuition and algorithm, revealing both the promise and peril of our technological age. The result is a deck that is as thought-provoking as it is beautiful: an act of creative resistance born from within the machine itself.
