GO, "the
Game of Encirclement", or "Enclosing
Game", is
an ancient Chinese game of territory control.
The game is played with black and white stones
on a 19 × 19
line grid.
Based the game, the installation is created with
361 black shotgun shells
laid out in a grid. Salt water fills each shell.
Over time, crystal grows and creeps over
the rim of the shotgun shells, while the color
of the grid gradually shifts from the original
to its opposite. |
