A modular ‘house of cards’ sculpture made from digital playing cards from the first version of Microsoft Solitaire. Images of card backs from the game are accompanied by quotations drawn from tweets, interviews and public speeches by prominent Silicon Valley technologists across generations, including Sam Altman, Steve Jobs, Douglas Engelbart, Bill Gates and Peter Thiel. Relentless Logic draws its name from an early text-based computer game which inspired the game Minesweeper. While Solitaire and Minesweeper were ‘games’, they were actually built into Windows operating systems to teach novice computer users how to use the ‘mouse’ as an input device through repeated gestures.
