Internship CLOSER

At home I started to look for anything that is a form of traces.

During the search I came a cross a few different kinds of traces people are doing.
Now I have to figure out what these examples mean in context of an AV Archive.

• Graffiti (confronting, intentional, small)Handshake stamp, Yarn bomb


• Fingerprint during the daily rituals (twitter, trash, gum, etc)Praying in the same spot


• Story (Building up to a story by leaving pieces of the story behind) Royal de Luxe


• Scavenger hunt (fragments leading you to a "treasure" player is active) Outside Geocaching, Inside Eric Clough


• Time (leaving something behind and rediscover it) Time capsule, Message in a bottle, Hidden spaces
• Coded/Embedded
  

We visited the Boijmans van Beuningen museum and the local Library. In the morning before we went to the museum we brainstormed how our concepts would look like when merged.

A view of the library


In the library we found a spot and discussed about our brainstorm some more. Eventually we ended the meeting with a small plan for tomorrow.

Research was the main event today. I have read some articles about games in a physical space. The list of what I have read goes as follows:

People
Jane McGonigal

Books
Space Time Play (chapter 3)

• Geocaching is a treasure hunt game with the use of GPS
• Mogi; Location based community game
• The Beast is Alternate Reality Game
• Barcode Battler; Uses the barcodes of real life and turns them into game characters. So the products like candy might become a warrior in the game.
• I Love Bees; Hijacking payphones to tell a story. Broadcasting short pieces around a minute. Think of War of the world’s radio story.
• Perplex City is a combination of an alternate reality game and a treasure hunt.
• Pervasive Games (essay); bridging the gaps between the virtual and the physical
• Urban Role-Play (essay); the next generation of role-playing in urban space
• Prosopopeia 1; a pervasive city based Live Action Role Play
• Changing urban perspectives (essay); ambiguity within the pervasive games

A storyline idea/suggestion for the collectible concept I got during reading.
Through inspiration of the game Perplex City; the fragments of the archive collectively tell a story. It is like making a comic out of different pictures one would find on google.

This might be a good motivation why people would want to collect these fragments outside the game play.
