A three-round conquest of supremacy
Instructions and Hosting by Beatrice Ciotoli and Irene Iodice
“301” is a variable-duration performance in which the two champions, Gaia Maria Rampello and Giorgia Papucci,
face off in a three-round darts match.
The game pushes the phenomenon of competition to its extreme, a phenomenon that by definition shapes the dynamics of supremacy within a society.
Warning, players may display one or more of the following behaviors:
— Anger and frustration: negatively distorting reality and reacting with uncontrolled aggression and violence to situations normally manageable through dialogue;
— Lack of confidence: negative attitudes inevitably affect the player’s self-esteem, preventing the creation of a calm and productive atmosphere in relationships;
— Denial: inability to accept defeat, convincing oneself that it entails personal failure.

Miscellaneous:
Driven by an innate competitive tension, the process of individual affirmation pushes humans to act—at least in appearance—for the good of the community. Yet such behavior easily degenerates into destructive and manipulative violence, capable of damaging others emotionally or physically.
“301” thus becomes a symbol of the primordial struggle for supremacy, which drives the natural selection of species.
