Random Acts of Vulnerability

Random Acts of Vulnerability ist ein immersives Spiel für vier Spieler*innen in vier Dimensionen. Durch Erkundung und Dokumentation der jeweils eigenen Dimension, formen die Spieler*innen anhand des Gesammelten und Erlebten die Erzählungen selbst. Auf ein installatives Netz aus experimentellen Materialen, soften Schaltkreisen, meditativen Klangwelten, grotesken Interfaces und verzerrten Output-Signalen aufbauend, werden Fragen nach Isolation, Einsamkeit, immaterieller und haptischer Vernetzung und der Herstellung von Verhandlungsgrundlagen gestellt.

code for sounds in the dating-dome

CODE DESCRIPTION:
4 very sensitive "balloon-pushbuttons" 
on a makey makey trigger sound files.
every minute there is a scene change 
and the sound files are updated.
sound files should be stored in a folder
called "data" within the sketch folder.
