PLAY

“...an attempt to momentarily destroy the stability of perception and inflict a kind of voluptuous panic on an otherwise lucid mind... Surrendering to a kind of spasm, seizure or shock which destroys reality with sovereign brusqueness.”

_Roger Caillois, Man, Play and Games

​

ESTRANGEMENT

estrangement or “ostranennie” as a basic function of art. This is to break the habitual or unconsciousness of our life habits and perception.

_Viktor Shklovsky, Art as Technique

​

PLAY + ESTRANGMENT

“...to be more methectic than memetic. That is, to help create the action rather than giving a proscription of a character.”

_Nils Norman, Architecture of Play
