Game as in guidelines\/rules and objectives. But not using common language, because part of the game that I like is the puzzle and so like the game of life, you must decipher the puzzle, though the aesthetic experience is not lacking if you cannot do so<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Puzzles<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8212; why are they useful, why are they a game, what other purposes do they serve? Any history of puzzles with art? Like coding, deciphering, )_arcane_ language? Why were they used?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Technology<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8212; some interaction would require it, but I have ideas for interaction that does not, so why tech? Part of it is the unexplained, the pieces we do not understand. The connection to science and thus magic for the everyday &#8212; sparks curiosity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Wonder\/Seduction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8212; curiosity _plus_ surprise<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Isolation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8212; private, for YOU, different for you [stochastic], also allows you to interact in ways you might not normally<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Epiphany\/Spiritual<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8212; connected to the Curiosity aspect of it. Participation should engage and the tech or the magic should produce curiosity and the isolation or individual aspects should inspire a sense of meaning. Transcend self or the moment and connect, possibly to the universe<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Female Avatar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headdress<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Control\/Power<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8212; there is an element of control from me, handed to them, but still maintained, so I suppose a trick\/lie, but is that not how all learning is done?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Safety\/Security<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8212; preconceived notions and then taking that away for a sense of surprise\/rapture &#8212; I think magic, the unknown, provides a shock to the feeling of security.

Could it be connected to something you were thinking about and then just reiterate that? Like a Tarot card reading, etc? Do I even care what the message is if the work simply does create an epiphany and thus is tied to a special moment for the user? If I at least try to tie it to something pleasurable will it be unlikely to be connected to hate\/anger\/fear and thus hopefully wont inspire or encourage hateful, angry, or fear-based connections in the brain? Is the message even my duty? Do I have a duty\/responsibility\/onus as an artist?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Collaboration \/ Inter-relations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8212; I am curious about this, but it\u2019s about trust in a way, about truth, about language being true or even useful for describing vision etc, about communication, about the need for others &#8212; I suppose it is more of a \u2018lesson\u2019 or \u2018message\u2019 on my part<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Probabilities, Stochastic, Temporary or time specific, temporal<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8212; obviously you can only see those particles as they happen and you only saw the Experience during certain times.
