Almost every computer user has spent innumerable amounts of time playing computer games. Someone - for complex arcades, strategies or RPGs, and someone - for simple casual games such as Minesweeper, Klondike Solitaire or Solitaire … Here is the last one dedicated to sculpture from the Norwegian studio Skrekkogle, called "Solitaire Win".
Computer and video games have become a very important, integral part of life for many of us. For some it is a sport, for others it is just entertainment, a means to get rid of stress and fatigue. Moreover, some games turned out to be so popular that they even began to erect monuments! For example, a monument to Mario in the style of Michelangelo's sculpture "La Pieta" ("Lamentation of Christ"), or the recently appeared in Norway sculpture "Solitaire Win", dedicated, of course, to Solitaire.
Millions of people around the world have spent millions of hours trying to play this one of the world's most famous solitaire games. It's hard to even imagine how many dinners were not prepared, how many working hours were killed, how many children were not born precisely because people were playing Solitaire, and not doing other, more important and urgent matters!
Here is the Norwegian studio Skrekkogle and decided to create a sculpture-monument to the world-famous solitaire that has long deserved it. The sculpture "Solitaire Win" has dimensions of 150 by 70 by 40 centimeters. And it's made from thousands of playing cards, black foam for a base, and paper.
The designers from Skrekkogle studio carefully assembled the cards in the right order and fixed them in the position that they acquire when the solitaire is folded. That is, the cards begin to flow in waves towards the viewer. However, in Solitaire Win this process is not dynamic, but static!
We will now wait for sculptures dedicated to Minesweeper, Need for Speed and, of course, the great casual game Worms Armageddon! Does any modern computer or video game deserve a monument?
