LŒGOS: a playful set of the rules of nature ♥️🧱☘️🐕
After reading the understanding of Nature from different epochs (starting from Aristotle [300 BCE], to Da Vinci, [1500s], to Descartes/Bacon [1600s], to Kant [1700s])- we created a playful game to showcase the evolution of the concept Nature.
Why a game? We gravitated to the empirical, tangible, and human interaction aspect to it. We wanted to make our study and critique accesible to as many as possible.
Through simple rules, the players can build coherent “things” and experience both the space of possibilities and constraints of each epoch. The player can also chose to ignore the rules and just build whatever they want.
Nature has always been a game- humans sometimes want to follow the rules and many others just ignore them.
PARAMETERS:
- You can continue to build upon a structure however you’d like after you execute the conditions of possibility for each set.
- You can build multiple structures, but each must begin with the conditions of possibility of a set.
- Transparent pieces can only be used in Aristotle.
KEY:
- Blue color of base. = rational modality of knowing
- Green base = empirical modality of knowing
- Gradation of color = cumulative progression
- Gradation of size = degrees of access
