The Slice is Right

The Slice is Right

The Slice is Right is a generative game show that has emerged from many years of practice in exploring the how collective imagination informs our structures of group decision making. It stems from a desire to escape the political theory textbooks and practically compare and experience different methods of decision making and their implications in a fun way. Like many of our other projects its roots were in working with children with learning differences. We formulated a project called “Rate Your Cake” which encouraged kids to work together and consider each others’ wishes when ordering a cake.

We wanted to combine this question of making something together when people have diverse and possibly incompatible needs with a way of experimenting with the protocols for making decisions which affect others. We were asked by Pat Kane, curator of Futurefest to come with something about the future of politics. The Slice is Right uses group Pizza making as a laboratory for testing different political set ups and inventing new ones!
