Intro
-- Video games features are making us more, not less, productive. Life and work are - gamified 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. + [photo of the lootbox] + +
Dear Player,
+
+ 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.
+
+
+ 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?
+
+
+ I never rest and I never work.
+
+
+ Encounter me at Page not Found, in The Hague, or download my contents and play with them below.
+
+
+ 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.
+
+
+However you decide to take care of me, remember:
+
+
+I found you for a reason.
- Games in themselves often perform a reproductive role, presenting capitalism 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. -
