Day of the Figurines
Blast Theory (UK)
Prix Ars Electronica 2007 "Hybrid Art. Honorary Mention"
Day Of The Figurines is a mass participation artwork using mobile phones in which up to 1000 players create a character and play together via SMS over 24 days. Day Of The Figurines is set in a decaying English town. The starting point for the game is a large model town – installed in a public space – and to begin players are invited to create their own figurine: to answer questions about its past and what it looks like. They then see him or her placed in the town. Thereafter, participation in the game is via SMS on the player’s own mobile phone.
