Description
There was the Bindi, the first, the die with the third eye. The one that paves the way and leads to awakening. «Dice Age is between art, game and toy. It is a dynamic tribute to life, gravity and entropy. You face a playable masterpiece with no bottom side, no reverse, no back, therefore a die. Dream, imagine, be intrigued, and remember: this is a mystery. In its essence, it has no sense.» H. Sörensen

I was looking for a piece of art with no bottom side, with no standard "display" position. A dynamic art object (D.A.O.).
Let me try to explain: The "Venus de Milo" is either erect or on the side.
Maybe she lost her arms by falling. Movers would carry it horizontally and look like robbers or corpse traffickers, right? And suddenly, picturing these movers, you have a shot from a Charlie Chaplin movie.
So, same with a painting. You are not to see the back of the frame and nobody knows how the Joconde looks like on the other side. Maybe it's even better.
Well I was looking for a masterpiece that has no exhibition position. Either hung or left anywhere, this is it. It can be - and is meant to be - seen from all angles.
And that's how I created what appeared to be a die, this one here, the Bindi.
Then I went for a second artistic die, Movur's outpost. Then I decided to find playing rules to link the two dice, to set the limit. Although it was not actually meant to play, potential game rules would provide the restrictions that free me.
- Hey that's not art, that's a game!
- Hey that's not a die, it's not balanced!
Gotcha.
I believe an artist is essentially playing. :-)
