Rendering Unconscious episode 222.

Katy Bohinc is a poet and a data scientist; an avant garde publisher and a professional marketer; an activist, an astrologer and an innovator. She studied pure math and comparative literature. These things are not contradictory. It’s the future. She has three books of poetry: Dear Alain (Tender Buttons Press, 2014), Trinity Star Trinity (Scarlet Imprint, 2017), and Scorpio (Miami University Press, 2018). Since 2013, she has collaborated on the award-winning Tender Buttons Press with Founding Editor Lee Ann Brown, publishing experimental women’s poetry, expanding the field of possible and probable since 1989. For a decade, she has worked as a data scientist and engineer. She is Founder of The Ratio, a project to study astrology with data science. Check out her latest Scorpio Poems.

She is here to discuss THE RATIO. Google and Apple generate conclusions from data science every day. The Ratio applies data science to astrology data. The zodiac was derived from the world’s first “big data set” — 600 years of data generated by the Babylonians. From relationships studied among the stars, trigonometry and all of mathematics were born.

The advisory board of THE RATIO is a group of leading technologists and scientists, astrologers and poets, marketers and journalists gathered to test the oldest thought system on earth by returning to astrology’s mathematical roots. Visit THE RATIO to learn more and read a history of math and astrology and data science here.
