COBRA 1.4-1.5-1.6 - Set of card games with book

Issuing a set of card games with an accompanying book of texts, COBRA RES has invited the reader to become player, moving towards an active participation within the grand narrative of each separate emergency episode. Asking the player/actor to confront his own passive-dynamics and disconnected participation in the global political arena.

July and August 2014 produced three COBRA committee meetings over three separate crises within three weeks: the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 over Ukraine, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the rise of IS in Iraq and Syria. These games replicate the structure of distance, of once-removed political orchestration while re-instating in the individual player a certain false agency via a rudimentary overview of our current COBRA emergencies.
