Project Description

Within 45 to 60 minutes, a participant plays through a virtual audio walk through Berlin in a suitcase. They take on the role of M.W. and have to decide whether they want to denounce readers in order to get ahead themselves or stall their superiors in order to get more inspiration from the readings. The participants receive information through sound snippets that they have to collect. The suitcase seems to come from a parallel universe in which the Stasi has the technology of today. The participants receive the suitcase via a classic agent handover and then have to bring it back after completing the mission in order to complete the mission successfully. With all the information one receives over time, the question always arises: How credible is the information? Is it just stories that Reader writes? Are the observations that one makes as M.W. manipulated by the Stasi? Is Reader himself an IM?
