“(Ludics) tantalisingly offers a new approach to understanding play through the process of play itself. Here we find play used as a conceptual catalyst for theoretical thought. In drawing on the ‘pataphysical, it presents a parody of scientific and philosophical conceptions, or a science of emerging solutions, that functions as playfulness itself.” (Westecott/Jahn-Sudmann) |  Download Issue #5 |
 NORDLICHT BLITZ play (2007) |
3rd Life playsure! Its
focus is a playfull 3rd life, according to J.L. Borges "Orbis Tertius"
and Sir Karl Poppers "World3". "Play sure", as a motto of the ludic
player in 2nd world game systems, uses World 3 conjectures or theories
as instruments of change. The Popperian cosmology appears as very
spartan juxtaposition to the idea of Second Life.

Similar to a ´pataphysical bike, ludics is a levitation model
for a thinking machine, providing the salvation, that is embedded in
the danger and joy of in-game technologies. Behind the books of physics
and science, the methods and practices of
´pataphysika and pata-science fiction vanquish the physics of the rules
of play. (sold out)
