VALISE Gallery Presents George Wright’s “Random Guessing”

August 1 - August 30th

Rock, Paper, Scissors has roots as a game that go back to ancient China and Japan.  The ancient Greeks also claim the game and call it “Moora”.

The game is played for fun, for deciding court cases, as well as continued in Bacterial ecology and evolution.  It is considered one of the basic applications of Game theory and non-linear research dynamics.

The ancient Greeks and Romans while they may have played the game, were more interested in the art of waxing and preserving. With heated bees wax they sealed the portraits of loved ones, that remain visible today. That must have been Random Guessing as well.  

Please visit the show, it’s my way of Random Guessing for August 2025.

Gallery hours are 1-6pm Sat. & Sun. and 1-9pm on First Friday August 1st.
