When describing its underlying principles, Grandomastery often refers to Arthur Koestler's concept of bisociation - creative problem solving on several planes, merging art, science and humour. However, we should not underestimate other ingenious creators, and, per se, grandomasters, such as Herman Hesse with his Glasperlenspiel. The Glass Bead Game is a synthesis of philosophical thoughts. As the game progresses, associations between the themes become deeper and more varied, like in Grandomastery's Random Abstractions. In a similar, but considerably more demiurgical way, Xul Solar, a phenomenal painter, linguist and inventor introduced an even more elaborate bisociative principle in his Pangame. Each play of the "Pangame" is a poem, a painting, a piece of music, and an arcane rite at the same time. It is possible to create different compositions as the game progresses by combining boxes, syllables, and numbers. These compositions are correspondingly read in 'panlengua', one of the langues that Xul Solar invented. In Pangame, the pieces are also planets that navigate through constellations, but they are also consonants which, paired with the syllabic combinations of the squares, can form invented words; the possibilities are infinite. #xulsolar #borges #grandomastery #glasperlenspiel #pangame #panchess #grandom #grandomasters #creativity #koestler #bisociation #buenosaires #argentina #art #panlanguage (at Museo Xul Solar) https://www.instagram.com/p/CioUIvttubp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
