The
 Dots
 Game
 invites
 one
 to
 connect
 numbered
 points
 as
 a
 way
 to
 materialize
 the
 imaginary
 form hidden
 within
 those
 particles.
 We
 placed
 outlines
 of 
twenty-two
 man-made 
forms 
over 
one
 another
creating
 a
 new 
constellation 
of 
dots 
and 
numbers
 that
 in
 the
 end
 make
 the
 final
 forms
 unrealized,
 with
 no
 meaning,
 emptied
 of
 their
 substance.
 By
 abstracting
 those
 forms
 and
 making
 them
 impossible
 to
 recreate,
 retrace
 or 
out line, 
even 
though 
the 
rules
 of 
the 
game
 demand 
it,
 our 
aim 
was 
to 
break
 them 
into 
bits 
and 
particles 
as 
a 
way 
to 
rethink 
those 
man-made 
forms 
so 
familiar 
and
 close
 to
 us.
 They
 were
 all
 created
 out
 of
 necessity
 or
 desire,
 following
 someone’s
 fantasy
 and
 imagination,
 being
 accepted
 by
 the
 others
 or
 imposed
 on
 them,
 used
 or misused 
by 
new 
generations, 
but 
still 
reminding 
us
of 
the necessity 
to 
rethink 
forms again, 
opening 
up 
the 
doors 
for 
creation 
of 
new 
shapes 
and 
imagined futures.
