A GAME BETWEEN THEM

A literal translation of a chess game into a mind map. A game between the person's mind within itself. Every move made by the player has a twin brush line. Every brushstroke repesents each move made by the player which creates map looks a lot like calligraphy. Contemporary calligraphic practice can be defined as "the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious, and skillful manner". In this case, a game of chess gives form to signs in an expressive manner. And it creates the symbol. What is fascinating is that the symbol, the map, represents one’s mind in a game within itself. It’s weird because I think it’s a departure from a certain narrative that all these other things that we are doing more now are the things that we did before. So in a way, it’s kind of trying to control not falling into this ineartia of what we should be doing or will do.
