Amaz­ing!

MYTH OF THEUTH is com­ing to Eng­land. The board and par­lour game for artists, philoso­phers and gods will be pre­sent­ed on two days at the first edi­tion of York Medi­ale. On Octo­ber 1, five artists and sci­en­tists from York­shire will take part in a won­der­ful evening of games. Bess Mar­tin (Leeds / bessinabout.com), Shau­na Con­can­non (York / www.york.ac.uk/tftv), Kel­ly Cul­ver (Leeds / kpculver.com), Bethan Hugh­es (Leeds / bethanhughes.com) and Simon Lewandows­ki (Leeds / simonlewandowski.co.uk).

MYTH OF THEUTH is a media-philo­soph­i­cal board game devel­oped by the Aus­tri­an art col­lec­tive qujOchÖ. While walk­ing through ancient Athens, up to sev­en peo­ple gath­er dif­fer­ent media and get in touch with media-philo­soph­i­cal celebri­ties from the ancient world to the present. Vilém Flusser dri­ves aside the telem­at­ic soci­ety ad nau­se­am, Lau­ra Mul­vey takes a joy­ful look at our mem­o­ry and Mar­shall McLuhan final­ly gets his well-deserved mas­sage. Smart­phones, news­pa­pers, Lego bricks, sleep­ing masks, stamps, liqueur and oth­er media are used through twelve unique stations.

Sup­port­ed by the Arts and Cul­ture Divi­sion of the Fed­er­al Chan­cellery of Aus­tria, Depart­ment II/6, and Linz­EX­POrt 2018.
