Metaphysik – Game Release + Book Signing with DMD and Stevenson
June 30, 2019 @ 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm
FreeJoin us in celebrating the release of Daniel Martin Diaz’s latest Mind Game of Divination entitled Metaphysik with accompanying book by Portland writer, artist, and poet Coleman Stevenson. Copies of the game and DMD’s nearly sold out artbook Soul Machine will be available for purchase + signing.
The Metaphysik deck by artist Daniel Martin Diaz is a tool for problem solving that helps users engage more deeply with their intuitive and imaginative selves. The cards can be used in a variety of ways, individually or pieced together like a puzzle, to explore different modes of thinking and overcome creative blocks. Metaphysik’s evocative imagery is an invitation to a strange new world where experiences of the mystical in the midst of everyday life inspire users to defy expectations, free themselves to make unexpected connections, and uncover a more expansive view of reality. The deck is accompanied by a book of essays by poet and artist Coleman Stevenson, musings on the concepts of connection and creativity. Readers are invited to think about the ways they access information, form ideas, and communicate those ideas to others. The essays are followed by a set of corresponding exercises, ways of interacting with the Metaphysik cards to explore their compositions. Diaz’s illustrations that inspired these essays and exercises are interspersed throughout the pages of the book, offering readers additional opportunities to connect with a world of mystery and imagination.
Free and for all ages!
