Can you see me now?
Blast Theory, Mixed Reality Lab (UK)
A game in which reality and virtuality, presence and absence overlap. A city’s network of streets becomes a virtual map on which a manhunt is played out. Online players move as avatars across the metropolitan grid and are tracked down by runners, members of Blast Theory who are equipped with cell phones and GPS equipment and are moving about in the actual city. When an online player gets bagged, the runner takes a picture of the spot—an evidentiary photograph with human subjects absent.

A collaboration with the Mixed Reality Laboratory, University of Nottingham (UK)
