Secret Says

Secret says

なにかを言い表すというとき、それはなにか自体をそのまま保存することではない。ことばは景色をことばによって区切り、置き換え、組み立て直す。

ことばは物質をもつ。同じ幅に一方向に打ち込まれることば。記号の集まりとして図像を作る、あるいは発声され空気を震わすことば。

描かれたものがことばの物質性に溶けずに残るのはどうしてかと考えると、実際には溶けているのだろう。溶けかけながらも同時にあり、結ぶ像はつねに揺れている。

Secret Saysはその揺れのうちに、ひとつの不安定な物語を内包した小さなゲームです。

When we ‘express’ something using words, doing so is not a matter of preserving a static idea of the thing itself. Words divide the landscape of things, replacing and reassembling them.

Words possess substance. Some are driven in one direction, made up of characters of uniform width. Some form images as collections of symbols. Others are voiced and vibrate the air.

When I think about why a depicted thing remains constant without dissolving into the materiality of words, I consider that perhaps it actually is dissolving. The thing exists while partially dissolved, and the image it forms is always unstable.

Secret Says is a small game that contains within it a trembling and unstable narrative.
