Race(s) Across Space(s)

A “real world” action game in which players race through physical space to align a site specific network of lasers + a “digital world” platformer in which players race through a 3dimensional procedurally created obstacle course. The hook, players race not only against the space of the game, but also each other. As a zero-sum game across spaces, aligning lasers increases the rate of obstacle production and conquering an obstacle depletes the power of aligned lasers ... more >

The OHP has left the building

I sit here on the loading dock at Adams and Halsted, on top of the last remaining articles of the de-installation of the Hellenic Museum's Oral History Project. Somewhat bittersweet, the new home is massively better, though the new form the exhibit will take due to bad planning by the architect of the new building is not as exciting. Nonetheless keep an eye out for pics from the re-installation in the coming weeks. Much simpler, quick to install, and fits the space nicely.
