The Davian Bead Game is an autonomous, interactive , mixed media installation that encourages engagement with and contemplation of the right side of the mind. The project creates an environment for a user to play with unconscious & visual cognitive processes by providing a “partner” whose mind only operates on the visual level. The turn-based game is played on the touchscreen and stimulates visual and spatial thinking and questions about scale.<\/p>\n

Early prototypical experiments of this project with a human being playing the role of the Davi<\/a> and a human being channeling the Davi’s game moves<\/a> on a physical game board were shown as part of Improvising Consciousness Events<\/a>.<\/p>\n
