surveyed by live projection through a small lens onto a block of polished graphite. The projection onto the graphite is inverted, but very recognizable as the players hand and the game being played. The quality of the projected image is strange and exquisite.
The intention of the work is to mediate the interaction between players of this dexterity game, and to mediate thier noticing of the strange mediation. The other intention is to present the entire piece, players included, as a work of art.
