Afterward
Why we chose it
Gorogoa makes looking and manipulating part of the same act. Its hand-drawn panels can be rearranged and combined, so an image is both a scene to attend to and something with which to think. We chose it because solving the puzzle means finding how the pictures connect. Watching a solution would leave the drawings intact while taking away the discovery. Begin slowly enough to test an unlikely connection of your own.
What it may shift What an image can do when its frame becomes movable.
Recall a connection that surprised you. Did you solve it by understanding the pictured world, the movement of the panels, or the relation between the two?
