About this Item

This mechanical drawing is hand SIGNED by John Klima; 4 panels tapped together measure: 28 x 34in (each individual panel measures 16 x 20in ); "Go" : "Go consists of corresponding virtual and physical gaming environments. Loosely based on the Japanese game Go, the goal of the game is to capture robots and buy drawings. The physical game board is a 16 x 24 foot map of the earth, made from 16 x 20 inch drawing pads arranged in a grid on the floor. Each page in the drawing pad equates to amonetary denomination. The drawings on the pads are created by 4 fully autonomous robot bugs that run on batteries and have pens attached to them.Visitors to the gallery manipulatethe projection interface and turn the charging stations on and off by moving little communication satellites into the proximity of the disks. This way, they determine the path of the robots and resulting drawings."
