AXIOM CASINO — a gaming machine in a liminal space. In a casino of light, two players follow disembodied voices that pull them between calculation and error, traversing zones of collapse and mutation. The unexpected emergence of an entity reconfigures the game: the human form dissolves, and communication between species begins.
