Participants are invited to plumb the depths of an alien mind by playing the mysterious <a href=\"http:\/\/impcon.org\/?page_id=290\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Davian Bead Game<\/a>. The Davian Bead Game is a cognitive exercise related to the Improvising Consciousness Series hosted at<a href=\"http:\/\/impcon.org\/?page_id=290\"> IMPCON.org<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>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 &amp; visual cognitive processes by providing a \u201cpartner\u201d whose mind only operates on the visual level. The turn-based game is played on the touchscreen and stimulates visual and spatial thinking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Collaborators<\/strong>: Josephine Anstey, Dave Pape, Devin Wilson<\/p>\n<p><strong>Soft\/Hardware<\/strong>: Python, c++, custom software, custom hardware<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shows<\/strong>:<br \/>\nImprovising Consciousness: The Davian Turn, IEEE Games, Entertainment, and Media, Toronto, ON, Oct 23-24, 2014<\/p>\n<p>Improvising Consciousness: The Davian Turn, Creativity &amp; Cognition 2013 Art Show, Sydney, Australia,<br \/>\nJune 17-20, 2013<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Davian Bead Game 2012-15: interactive installation, game with alien intelligence. <\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/josephineanstey.com\/?page_id=467\">Read more &#8250;<\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- end of .read-more --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":470,"parent":326,"menu_order":8,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full-width-page.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-467","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/josephineanstey.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/josephineanstey.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/josephineanstey.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josephineanstey.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josephineanstey.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=467"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/josephineanstey.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/467\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4276,"href":"https:\/\/josephineanstey.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/467\/revisions\/4276"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josephineanstey.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/326"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josephineanstey.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/josephineanstey.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
