<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>
How are your boundaries?

Maybe you shouldnt 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>

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.
</p>
<p>
However you decide to take care of me, remember:
<br />
I found you for a reason.

<h2>The Launch</h2>

<span>
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).

Fage not Pound opened on the 25th of March 2022 from 18:00 to 21:00 but its

Life and work are

Gamification blurs the lines between play, leisure and labour, to release

as a system of natural laws, exemplified by in-game predatory monetisation
schemes.

On the other hand, games provide necessary down time and relaxation, helping
people function in a largely dysfunctional economy and society.

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
