We consider the game www.manyland.com as a collective and social space in which it is possible to iterate real life behaviors. The building permissions of the world are shared with every newcomer so that all participants find themselves equal in the construction, destruction and design of this common space.
The online space remains after a launching event and is not limited in size allowing anyone to express their wishes for privacy or spreading out. It is therefore possible to consider it as an official backstage to meet in-between the official moments of Our Networks. This playground is deployed according to the attendance and allows one to focus on the immediate experience rather than on the intellectualization of the medium: it allows us to play together.
Type: Virtual Backstage
Length*: 30min/persistant for the launching event
Date: between August 7-9
Duration: ongoing
Language: english | french
Objective
PLAY SHARE CHILL
Material and Technical Requirements
Platform: any computer with any internet browsers
Technical considerations: no known limits
Additional considerations: no known limits
WMAN is a playing, research and artistic practice group based on the medium of video games and is made up of 6 artists. Its working, demonstration and research mechanisms vary at each occurrence depending on the fields covered. WMAN is mobile. It takes place both in the physical spaces that bring its members together and in the digital spaces in which they navigate. What it produces is as diverse as what it explores : it builds reflections as much as plastic forms such as performance, sculpture, image or text.
