The CHAlleNGED GAMES blog was conceived with the hope to stimulate divergence thinking and challenge the viewer to rethink one’s routines and shift his/her perspective on the status quo. The blog was initially dedicated to my CHAlleNGED GAMES series. As with the time I started to experiment with another system - the language, to apply mathematical logic and seek patterns in words, in the last years my publications are mostly about this part of my work.

CDoupbles :: MODE #1 : The Modern Muses Use & Amuse #fashionandbeautyindustry
"Be thou the tenth Muse, ten times more in worth
Than those old nine which rhymers invocate."
A/N: A
clearly stated liaison between inspiration and psychoactive
substances, at first reading.
A
celebration of substance abuse, namely of the modern
muses Use and Amuse, in its pure form as “patterned
use of a substance in which the user consumes the substance in
amounts or with methods which are harmful to themselves or others”,
at a further reading.

pREISE & game epiphanies in o tigre de Lisboa: #8: Adults at wordplay: a CDoupble sequel
ARTROSE (pt) and ART ROSE (en)

Kunstlerin
und Kulturvermittler. Coast-path. Praia
do poça. Estoril. Portugal. Early evening. High
tide. October. With the power of repetition, seeing and
reading written text had become a value
adding and meaning expanding act, creative dyslexia and associative
reading, a lasting force to read and misread
compulsively and insatiably anything written and signs of all kind.
Attracted
to an info-board on the coast-path, the artist was discouraged instantaneously to proceed with the intention to read it: “Es ist Arthrose,
nicht Art Rose.”, the Kulturvermittler
said.
On
the top of the info-board stayed ARTROSE (arthrosis in Portuguese).

pREISE & game epiphanies in o tigre de Lisboa: #4: life in patterns. A souvenir.
A souvenir
from Casino Estoril (the biggest in Europe). Impressive but not inspiring place to play. Apart of the masses of slot machines and eating people, each of the roulette table had its own jettons. Both I found inelegant and discouraging the swingy mood, which is a must for me, when gambling.
Apart for its original purpose, about which I did not inform myself, the sheet can be used for a CHAlleNGE to play IrregularTic-tac-toe and One-row Tic-tac-toe.

Regulations

The power

System(s)
The small
ones are more than the big ones
There
would be no big ones without the small ones
The small
ones vary, the big ones not
We do not see
the end of both
But somehow we know it is there
From a
distance only the big ones are to distinguish
The
smallest we do not see
Multiple possibilities to play
No one
plays
Did
anybody else imagined to play on this abundance of grids
