OuiSi x Getty: Games of Visual Connection

OuiSi x Getty is a set of 210 Visually Connecting Photo Cards that celebrate the beauty of the J. Paul Getty Museum collection. Each Photo Card captures a beautiful detail of an artwork or artifact. 210 works await discovery through play, from Van Gogh’s Irises to works found in the deepest corners of the collection.

The name of this inventive set of photo cards is “yes-yes” in French and Spanish, pronounced “we-see” in English. It’s a nod to our belief that pictures are a language almost all of us speak, regardless of age or background.

To add a bit of magic, each lush photo card connects visually with other cards in the deck, based on similar patterns, shapes, colors – really, anything you can imagine. There are more than two thousand connections waiting to be found, each providing a wonderful “aha!” moment.

Igniting Young Minds

OuiSi encourages collaboration, like building off another player’s Photo Card or co-creating a web of Visual Connections. It also fosters critical and abstract thinking. “How does something connect?” or “what do you see here?” – these questions are building blocks for good conversation and plant seeds of general curiosity.
