Description:
A real interaction with complex, nuanced and bewildering social codes and signifiers is rendered into a simple representation. Specific colours are allocated to different emotions, social standings or dispositions in play. Aiming for the emotional effect of fear, anger or calm in the opponent, retaliations corresponding to privilege, politically correct or shame vary in strength to either deflect or ‘let through’ a strike. The exercise is comparable to a match analysis of Rock Paper Scissors.
