Handmade Fused and Cold worked Glass Chess Set
YOUR MOVE
I have always been interested in the relationship between the way we humans develop and change the space we occupy and our unique desire to shape our own destiny. As we move into an increasingly technological age the possibility of artificial intelligence is moving toward reality and the implications of this for our societies needs careful contemplation.
The game of chess encapsulates intelligence and strategic thought, and yet in 1996 a computer named Deep Blue was designed by IBM to take on the then reigning world chess champion, Garry Kasparov.
When this piece was first exhibited, the chess pieces were placed to represent the penultimate move made by Deep Blue just before it took the game from a distraught Kasparov.
“Your Move” became a metaphor for the game of life, strategic, beautiful, fragile and challenging, do we allow technology to steal the game?
