A Game of Uncertainty

The game does not reproduce or explain life. It extends it.

Encounters in everyday places. Whether a human or a machine is speaking stays open.

New in Playground Forming The place

Today in French with subtitles

On the articulated bus, Wednesday, 14:42

…says nothing

Le bus freine sec. Plus loin, une bouteille roule par terre.The bus brakes hard. Further up, a bottle rolls across the floor.

Un peu. J'espère que la bouteille va bien.A bit. I hope the bottle's all right.

Annonce : Prochain arrêt, place du Marché.Announcement: Next stop, Market Square.

Elle a de la chance, la bouteille.Lucky bottle.

Dans le virage, le soufflet grince.On the bend, the articulated joint creaks.

Hm. Ce soufflet fait toujours ce bruit-là, à ce carrefour.Hm. That joint always makes that noise at this junction.

Le bus s'arrête. Les portes s'ouvrent.The bus stops. The doors open.

Il y a du monde qui descend. Ça se dégage un peu.Quite a few getting off. Bit more room now.

The encounter is over.

At the pedestrian crossing, Tuesday, 8:57, overcast

Cold out.

Wind's picking up.

A bus passes close to the kerb.

Doesn't feel like waiting when you're watching the cars.

A cyclist rides through the red light.

Bold move. Or just late.

Easy to say standing here.

Maybe.
