Glass Bead Game

Birthstone Puzzle from Duncan Malashock on Vimeo.
Glass Bead Game is a science fiction story, in the distant future on Earth, in a European province named Castalia.  Castalia is the archetypical ivory tower, an academic sanctuary where students practice a form of abstract cultural study called the Glass Bead Game.  The game operates on the principle that every field of knowledge can be broken down into its component parts, and so the “beads” which make up the game are each symbolic of a “unit” of cultural knowledge or accomplishment from the arts, humanities, sciences, history, etc.  The idea is that these beads can be linked and juxtaposed together, the goal being for players to share their revelations of cultural insight through making connections between elements of all the arts and sciences. -Rhizome.org

Culte



The video represents the contrasts and similarities between the mysticism of the natural world (that is clearly visible through technology) and the comparative devotion of a shared belief, whether it is in God or a team, or the community that those institutions encourage.
