Description
"The Bafflement Fires” lives in the space between print and the internet. It’s an interaction fiction in the form of a digital recreation of a 1950s Freemason board game. Based on found documents, written by a psychologist and Mason, the print game was seemingly an attempt to alter player’s perception through quiz and play. While it appears some of the game was lost/destroyed, as the documents I found were incomplete or damaged, enough was there for me to create a semi-accurate version. Using a specially built quiz game engine, and creating new fiction questions and answers, the Bafflement Fires is my attempt to build a part fiction, part creative non-fiction world, told through the surreal and literary answers/questions of someone trying to influence how we perceived the world around/inside us, playable on a screen attempting to create it's own pixeled reality, connecting the 50s paranoia to current net mysteries.
