3. –Miguel Sicart
“Lets look in a different direction, away from
the action of play as framed by a thing or a
system that can be won. I propose an aesthetic
of play as action or, better put, the aesthetics of
play as the action of appropriation & expression
of & within context.”

5. –Miguel Sicart
“At the risk of being pedantic, I foolishly
propose an alternative. Let us not talk about
“game designers.” Let us bury that terminology
if what we are doing is not “games.” If we are
doing something else, if our purpose & our
activity & our focus are to make people play,
then let’s become architects and play.”

7. –Miguel Sicart
“Like architects, we create just contexts, & also
like architects, we are slave to the ways others
appropriate what we carefully create. We give a
space for people to explore & express themselves
& the right props to do so.”
