Tomorrow a mixed reality game/performance will be mixing on-the-street players in West Bromwich in the UK and online players like yourself, with the aim to find objects in a virtual yet real city. It’s called Uncle Roy All Around You and is produced by the London-based artists’ group Blast Theory. You can play on Macs and PCs and even with a dialup connection, you just need Shockwave and you need to click the PLAY button between noon and 6 pm British time tomorrow or Friday or Saturday – or
Berlin: 13:00 – 19:00
Tokyo: 20:00 – 01:00
Sydney: 21:00 – 02:00
New York: 07:00 – 12:00
Actually those times don’t all make sense, I think the last three should get an extra hour on the end – but they’re off the site, so maybe something mysteriously stops non-European players playing an hour before the rest of us.
Will you give it a go?
