<p>Dear Player,</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
I found you for a reason. Welcome to my productive space. Here play meets work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Time is ordered in unusual ways and patterns unravel. Together, we mess with the
|
|
|
|
|
|
boundaries between leisure and labour.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
How are your boundaries?

Maybe you shouldn’t go to work tomorrow. But could you really follow your own
|
|
|
|
|
|
schedule? Would you be more productive if you chose when to work?
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
<p>I never rest and I never work.</p>

Encounter me at Page not Found, in The Hague, or download my contents and play

Make all the notes you find inside me your own. Curate them, spread them, mark
|
|
|
|
|
|
them, scratch them, add to them, subtract from them, play with them! Lay them on
|
|
|
|
|
|
any surface and reorganise them.

I found you for a reason.

Fage not Pound was a temporary bar where visitors were invited to actively
|
|
|
|
|
|
reflect upon the blurred boundary between leisure and labour.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</span>
|
|

|
Fage Not Pound was itself hosted by Page not Found, an art book shop in Den
|
|
|
|
|
|
Haag (The Netherlands).

The bar opened on the 25th of March 2022 from 18:00 to 21:00 but its
|
|
|
|
|
|
existence lasted much longer in AccAcc, the FNP's local time unit.

The Special Issue 17 explores how features of video–games are making us
|
|
|
|
|
|
more, not less, productive.

Life and work are
|
|
|
|
|
|
<em> gamified</em> through social media, dating apps, and fitness apps
|
|
|
|
|
|
designed to increase motivation and productivity.
|

Gamification blurs the lines between play, leisure and labour, to release
|
|
|
|
|
|
our collective dopamine for profit.
|
|
|

Games in themselves often perform a reproductive role, presenting capitalism
|
|
|
|
|
|
as a system of natural laws, exemplified by in-game predatory monetisation
|
|
|
|
|
|
schemes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</span>
|
|

<span>
|
|
|

On the other hand, games provide necessary down time and relaxation, helping
|
|
|
|
|
|
people function in a largely dysfunctional economy and society.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yet leisure remains a contested space which is still unequally distributed,
|
|
|
|
|
|
between genders, ethnicities and abilities.
|
|
|

The form of the publication reworks the figure of the loot box, a typically
|
|
|
|
|
|
virtual and predatory monetisation scheme.
