Games for Conscious Living - Art/Playing Cards

Art as an Admcadiam platform -

   As a visual poem of the unfolding of awareness in the world as we know it, the Admcadiam Playing Cards can be framed as pictures individually or in sets, or merely fixed to the fridge as thoughts for the day.
   The Admcadiam game allows them to be used for divination. The game uses both decks of a double set, where one deck is a mirror of the other. One deck represents the Being and the other the Person of a user. Through the process of play a user tries to match them in color, number and symbol. A 100 page booklet interprets the symbolism of each card, and its place in the development of awareness.
   As a layout of Meditation images, they can be left out in mid play as Art object that re-induces the realizations they represent. As such they represent statements of the discovery and solution generally reserved for the artist originating an art work. Arrangements and rearrangements of the cards continually emanate from the interaction of users, empowering them to share responsibility as the creators of the pictures resulting from decisions and realization discovered.
