Turn your fears into a game: Soteria
We are all brave in the context of games – or at least braver than in real life – because we know nothing can really happen to us. (Doris Rusch) As our experimental platform of choice, we can use games to send players off into alternate universes, make them strike power poses and do epic…

Pokémon GO: Pervasive Gaming for Everybody
At the collective we’ve been active in playing the cities and the streets for many years. We’ve played games in public and have looked very awkward in doing so, at times.
