Homo Ludens himself will seek to
transform, to recreate, those surroundings, that world, according to his new
needs. The exploration and creation of the environment will them happen to
coincide because, in creating his domain to explore, Homo Ludens will apply
himself to exploring his own creation. Thus we will be present at an uninterrupted process of creation and
re-creation, sustained by a generalized creativity that is manifested in
all domains of activity.

ABSTRACT
the creations and play that represent the theory:
ever changing re-creating and overwriting the world man creates for himself
a necessity to maintain it's freedom
New Babylon is the work of the New
Babylonians alone, the product of their culture. For us, it is only a model of
reflection and play.

Gemeetenmuseum, The Hague, 1974.)
