Site: steel locker, ground-floor game room, Wilhelminakade, Rotterdam; tide entered the room twice a day for centuries. Access limited to two-hour windows at low tide; hinges fused by salt, locker opened with a hand saw. Condition: controller dry inside, wrapped in an orange salt crust; one button worn into a smooth hollow by thousands of presses; base undamaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe controller linked a hand to a character on a screen. Records suggest that for many players the screen was where daily life took place: the body stayed seated while the character travelled, fought and met others elsewhere. Analysis concludes that, for these players, the game was less a pastime than a way out of a reality they preferred not to face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDelivered in its capsule: a glass dome on an engraved concrete base.\u003cbr\u003eFigure height: 13 cm (5.1 in)\u003cbr\u003eOverall height with capsule: 25 cm (9.8 in)\u003cbr\u003eMaterial (figure): Copper and PLA composite\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Sanded, chemically aged copper patina\u003cbr\u003eMaterial (capsule): Concrete base, glass dome\u003cbr\u003eEdition: Unique piece\u003cbr\u003eAccession no.: E-SP-EG-002 · Rotterdam, Netherlands\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertificate \u0026amp; provenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach artifact is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandle with clean, dry gloves.
