ACTIVE INGREDIENT

THEM AND US




Active Ingredient aim to explore the conflict between interaction through technology and face to face human communication.looking at the way people interact with each other in social spaces, that enable them to break down the barriers within a community (the audience) to engender a feeling of trust and a suspension of disbelief.

ACTIVE INGREDIENT
LOVE CITY




How it works

Players send messages of love between Nottingham, Derby and Leicester to build a digital city in the palm of their hand. Active Ingredient have mapped all three cities and created a virtual city where locations interlock. For example, if you are at the train station in Derby and another player is at the train station in Leicester, you are both waiting at the train station in Love City. You can then send messages to each other. Points are scored by making a match with the player from another city. A menage a trois is made when three players from the three cities connect and a love child is born. Players will be rewarded for the creative content of their messages.






During the project Hughes produced post card style images of Nottingham and Leicester which were displayed on screens in all three cities.
