Falling Sideways Off the Edge of the Earth

”Leaves us with the well-taken admonition to foster impulse and irregularity, what humanity has that algorithms never can have (…) Falling Sideways Off the Edge of the Earth creates a richly compelling space of play that exemplifies its own recommendations.”
