Who is playField.?

playField (2016) is an art collective that removes the boundary between the audience and the performance.
 

With a fondness for society and human behavior, playField allows the audience to discover interactive and immersive art.
 

We strive to place ourselves and the audience in a different position to view the world from a new and untrained perspective
 

playField's work combines art, technology, and science.

We involve our audience as much as possible in the creative process.

City Intervention

• In teams (4 students per team) you will start a movement. The tool for that movement is a 'serious' city game or intervention.
  • The goal of the game is to raise awareness for a social matter.
  • The user journey is designed to challenge behaviour(s), assumptions or opinions.
  • Audiences will gain a sort of insight about this matter in a playful way.

Conditions

• The aim of the game is to bring an urgent matter under the attention of the audience. This theme must be social relevant. Think sustainability (climate change, pollution...) or (sometimes unseen) social issues (gender identity, loneliness, safety, poverty...)
   
• The game is physical: people must actually move through the city of Ghent to play this game.
• The game is story driven: you will use several of the storytelling techniques/archetypal elements from the course.
• Media platform of this experience/game: free choice (audio, graphic, video, ...)
