"From the roulette game as a sub-product of the research of Blaise Pascal to Buckminster Fuller’s World Game, including his fin de siècle and early twentieth century motor analogy, the game has consistently been an expositor and hub for the most advanced and seductive items emerging in the field of technology.
Within the context of the present time where collections of quantitative data translate and decipher increasingly more individual and collective experiences, games are once again becoming an instrument in which the rules and limits of numerical conditions are discovered. Playing with reality, however, causes mirages. From this perspective the role of the player becomes the nucleus and the frontier for all the ways of visualizing data.” A. Gil-Fournier.
