A chess set that could teach aliens how to play

What if you could learn how to play chess simply by looking at the pieces?

What if you could learn how to play chess simply by looking at the pieces?

That's one of the ideas behind Orthogonal/Diagonal, an exhibition where artist Nova Jiang has reimagined chess with 3D-printed pieces designed to convey their rules of movement—and their relative importance on the board—at a glance.

"I remember having a lot of trouble learning checkers because the forms of the pieces didn't suggest their functions, so here, the instructions help you pick up the visual language," says Jiang. In other words, if an alien encountered the game for the first time, they'd be able to intuit some of the game simply by looking at it.

On redesigning the chess set.

'Ideogenetic Machine' - Nova Jiang - Prix Cube 2013

Ideogenetic Machine est une installation interactive qui nous projette à l’intérieur d’une bande dessinée générative. L’image du spectateur est captée en temps réel et transformée directement dans un style “dessin au trait”.

Chaque spectateur devient ainsi le créateur et l’acteur de sa propre planche de bande dessinée.
