bringing into play
What does "bringing into play" mean in the following context"? Does it mean "making a play or game out of what is happening" rather than its phrasal meaning of "bringing about"?
Context:
On the other hand, art – which, as Johnstone points out, acts for Lefebvre ‘as a kind of “play-generating yeast” in the everyday; an action that suggests both the splitting down into simpler substances and the process of fermentation, agitation and disruption’ – can usefully be put to work in the city as a means of bringing into play
that which is taking place.
