Exquisite Corpse Playing Cards - Scott Snibbe + Samaya Snibbe
Playing card deck featuring 54 original works of art made in collaboration between 9-year old Samaya Snibbe and her father, artist Scott Snibbe. The cards were created using the exquisite corpse surrealist drawing game, where the artists fold a piece of paper into thirds and draw each part of a figure without seeing the other person’s art.
Scott Snibbe is a new media artist and meditation teacher, author of How to Train a Happy Mind, and host of the Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment podcast. Snibbe’s interactive art and augmented reality installations have been incorporated into concert tours, museums, and airports; and he has collaborated with musicians and filmmakers including Björk, Philip Glass, Beck, and James Cameron. His work can be found in the collections of New York MoMA, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and other institutions.
Samaya Snibbe is a 13-year-old artist who lives in Berkeley, California with her parents. From a young age, she has connected to collaborative art through making “exquisite corpse” drawings with her father. At school she learned the “blind contour” technique in which the artist draws without picking up their pen or looking at their hand. She proposed an intimate creative collaboration with her mother in which they sit face to face, stare into each others’ eyes, and draw blind contour portraits of each other.
Scott and Samaya’s work was included in the Personal Space exhibition, Helping Heads, curated by Gabriel Garza in 2023.
