Scallop Eyes is an interactive card game that seeks to reimagine the way we experience art spaces. Housed in a compact deck of 48 cards, Scallop Eyes fits into your pocket and carries the potential to disrupt conventional art-viewing practices.

Purpose

Art spaces like galleries and museums often cultivate an aura of reverence, one that can feel rigid, clinical, and distant. Visitors shuffle quietly, hands clasped behind their backs, observing artworks from a calculated distance. While this etiquette is intended to preserve and protect, it builds a barrier between the viewer and the art, a code of conduct.

How It Works

Each of the 48 cards in the Scallop Eyes deck contains an instruction designed to find new ways of engaging with art and the space around it. Players draw cards and follow the prompts, which could involve physical movement, emotional reflection, or dialogue. 

Where to Play

Scallop Eyes is designed specifically for art spaces but can be adapted to other environments where traditional behavior feels limiting.
