Eutopia

Post date 5 April 2022

“Eutopia
The stories of the Earth have changed in nature and scale: we do not write stories to tell about the creation or the course of the world, but to avert its end.” (Trickster-p presentation)

The board game developed by Trickster-p with game design contributions by Open Lab has turned into a collective performance, “Eutopia”, available in theatres around the world. Based on an infinitely generative mechanic of life agents, the collective experience generates always new scenarios and landscapes.

In Open Lab we are proud of having contributed to this beautiful project; see the Trickster-p site for dates and locations of the performances.

Divide et Impera

Post author By admin_OL
Post date 29 January 2021

Divide Et Impera is a game where you interact with a connected group of diverse people initially in good relations between them; by using hate speech in various forms you try to bring about division and hostility, finally separating the group in factions. Through manipulation of a simulated small community , the gamer can be confronted with and made aware of actual mechanisms used to manipulate people in social media. Adolescents can learn this way to be more critical about the sources and content of information they find in social media.

The game has been designed and developed by Mauro Vanetti (independent game developer), and Pino Panzarella and Pietro Polsinelli from Open Lab.
