Edo: A session based on folding the paper. We used a set of formal rules which forced quite strict limitations on us four, but still left a few degrees of free choice. Enough to make us very interdependent: We had to discuss and coorporate.
- Instructions:
INITIAL SETUP
- Play with four participants.
- Each participant has a colored pen: red, green, blue or black.
- The participants take clockwise turns:
TASKS PERFORMED THE FIRST TURN BY EACH PARTICIPANT
LIft your corner of the paper from the table and bring it to any place on the paper so that one other corner must be lifted too.
While keeping the corner at its position, press the paper flat and make a fold.
Unfold the paper again to its standard position.
Put a dot somewhere on your fold.
TASKS PERFORMED ALL FOLLOWING TURNS BY EACH PARTICIPANT
Folding the paper
Bring your corner of the paper to the end of the line drawn by the participant on your right.
If that participant has only placed a dot, bring your corner to that dot.
While keeping the corner at its position, press the paper flat and make a fold.
Unfold the paper again to its standard position.
If the fold is almost parallel to the edge of the paper, place some small dots at the ends of the fold, so to clearly mark it as your fold.
Draw a straight line
Start your line at the end of your last drawn line.
Your line should always follow a fold.
Your line may cross other lines but it may not be on top of other lines.
The end of your line should always be where one of your own folds crosses a fold by someone else.
