A generative self-playing board, built with visual languages of architectural illustration and textile art, and inspired by the format and machinery of the well-known ‘snakes and ladders’ game.

The original version of the game board (Moksha Patam in ancient India) is a section through a tall building, a player’s movement representing ascension to enlightenment via virtues or unplanned descent via vices. Here, the player moves invisibly, leaving just a trace of their journey through the decorated rooms.

Operation: Self-playing, dynamically responsive screen, desktop and mobile
