Jake controlled the door, he sat behind the desk on his stool and buzzed you in, you had to be fast, miss your chance and you wouldn't get in at all even if you waited for the next people.No-one had ever heard him speak, he controlled his universe with a few gestures, if he stood up you were gone for good. They said he was dumb but he just didn't want to speak. Every day we went down the corridor with it's peeling paint, nod to jake - he didn't like people to talk to him. The tables were at the back but we only liked the machines pac-man, space-invaders, galaxians but most of all asteroids.

Discours (notes)

«Playlets "are mini episodes which form the structure of memory, they act like navigation aids for the brain with each one pointing to memories from a specific period of time, enabling the mind to recall memories in a time context." August Klein. Play-lets is a web project by Conor McGarrigle based on the writings of psychologist August Klein and on the deconstructed memories of artist Arthur Doyle. It is important to read the background information on August Klein and Arthur Doyle to understand the thinking behind this project. The project is designed to encourage exploration, there are 25+ pages with no beginning, middle or end, but there is a journey. There are many hidden links and many different ways to navigate through the work, .
