Artist Statement
Kosmologym is an art and game design collective. Our games challenge players to encounter others (human/animal, plant, mineral, institution) and place human bodies in physical relationships to global systems. Drawing on rules and artifacts from board games, behavioral economics, folk games, climate modelling and sports our games imagine means of co-constructing a shared cultural and natural commons. Our work and games urge you to explore, shift and abandon your boundaries.
