After visiting Calculations and Coincidences, the participants design various patterns inspired by the exhibition and create motifs with them. The participants then prepare textured printing templates of the patterns they have created using different materials such as cardboard, eva, string. Then, the templates are printed in different ways on the papers passed from hand to hand among the participants and collective works are produced as many as the number of participants.

About Pley Studio
Pley is a creative design studio that is based on the concept of playfulness. Aiming to help people stretch possibilities and enter the magical circle—namely, a free and playful state of mind—Pley uses open-endedness as a tool. Addressing the concept of 'homo ludens', which advocates that humans are playful beings, Pley serves as a guide to the game, appealing to both children and adults who engage in play.
Our institutions have been stuck on linear Neo-Platonic tracks for 24 centuries. These antiquated processes of deduction have lost their authority. Just like art it has fallen off its pedestal. Legal, educational and constitutional systems rigidly subscribe to these; they are 100% text based.
1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
This life-size portrait of a girl is a fine example of the British art of portrait painting in the early 18th century. The child is shown posing on a terrace, which is enclosed at the right foreground by the plinth of a pillar; the background is mainly filled with trees and shrubs.
