Guillermo Gutiérrez Arribas is an artist based in Madrid, Spain. "The aesthetics and organization of the board uses the current language of the internet, mainly that of memes. This game board is organized according to the political compass, a diagram widely used in the world of memes that has two axes: economic (left–right) and social (authoritarian–libertarian). Thanks to this diagram we are allowed to organize the board by placing different real estate models according to their position in the political spectrum. The future compass is also a feature in this board, a two-dimensional meme chart that depicts various futuristic scenarios. It is also organized on two axes which usually are: hyperhuman-unhuman and acceleration-deceleration. In this case, though, these axes are substituted by the same axes of the political compass. Therefore, the board becomes a mix between the political and the future compasses."
