Orientation Game is a sculptural work activated by walking artists in urban space, a prompt for playfulness and attention. Awkwardly carrying an oversized dice together during short walks, we are physically forced to adjust our relationship with each other and with our urban environment, while the instructions the dice contains aim to adjust the spectators’ relationship with their urban environment. Pausing in public spaces, we make temporary installations amidst passersby. The game has no rules, no winner, no beginning and no end, it is a way to imagine and play the city.

English translation of the phrases on the dice : find a line, follow it  / walk a circle around a tree / turn towards the north / close your eyes, listen to the city / touch an old building / the train is pulling in, return to the station (..this last instruction references the train which stopped running in Victoriaville QC in 1960)

Bonneau-Knight developed this work for a residency in the downtown core surrounding the CAJEMA arts center in Victoriaville, QC, curated by Jeanne Couture.
