PRACTICAL UTOPIAS: The Ykon Game Saturday 23 June, 4-7pm The White Building. Hackney Wick The YKON game, developed 2009 and inspired by Buckminster Fuller´s World Game, is based upon a simple thought experiment: Imagine the world is brought to a complete halt. Everything stops. No more business as usual. With the world being frozen, you and your fellow players can tinker with the world as you please. What will you change? How do you convince others to go along with your changes? And what about the consequences? In short: The YKON Game is a workshop, party and therapy session in one.
FREE but limited places Booking required email [email protected] The Ykon Game is part of PRACTICAL UTOPIAS: MIDSUMMER WITH YKON: a special event featuring the YKON Game, an outdoor cinema screening, exhibition, refreshing spirits and a hot surprise. MIDSUMMER with YKON is the first event of the Practical Utopias series of artistic programmes on current utopian thought and practice around the world. The aim is to map and discuss utopian practices, locate potential that will inspire collaboration across disciplines, and help to establish a system to identify, support and kick-start practical utopias within our day-to-day life. The YKON game is used as a tool for anyone wanting to practice utopian envisioning within a playful setting. Ykon are currently on a Permacultures residency at SPACE and have been developing the Practical Utopias project - MORE INFO http://www.electra-productions.com http://thewhitebuilding.org http://www.ykon.org Jim Prevett Artist Residencies Programmer 07951405466 [ s p a c e ] Forthcoming exhibitions : 1 Jun - 15 Jul GALLERY - Jo Spence: Work (Part 1) ANNEXE - Aleksandra Domanović: Turbo Sculpture LIBRARY - Going to the Dogs: A play by Wim T.
