Featured Videos

Below are all the videos we included in the exhibition. The first three - Wintercaching in Finland, Can You See Me Now? and Pete Vigeant talks Pac-Manhattan - were stored together and viewable-on-demand on a tablet in Section 1, “Emergence".” This section also included a PC with an interactive live recording of a performance of Can You See Me Now? in Tokyo, where visitors could follow players and see the action unfold. Sadly this cannot be reproduced here. The Troy Innocent interview was played on a loop in the Wayfinder Live section.

Wintercaching in Finland

This is a satirical documentary created by Veli-Pekka Eloranta and Harri Hirvasniemi, which won the People's Choice award at the 2018 Geocaching International Film Festival (GIFF). It highlights the very unique challenges that Finland offers for dedicated geocachers. It was the first Finnish film to make it to the GIFF final.

Can You See Me Now? (Tokyo)

Documentary footage from Blast Theory’s interactive mixed reality game Can You See Me Now?, a project devised in collaboration with the Mixed Reality Lab at the University of Nottingham. This film shows how the project worked in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo in 2005.

Pete Vigeant talks Pac-Manhattan

Pete Vigeant is one of the students of Frank Lantz’s Big Games course, responsible for creating the original Pac-Manhattan. In this video he discusses the process of creating the game back in 2004. Pete also kindly joined us in Tampere and gave a public talk for the exhibition launch.

Troy Innocent on Wayfinder Live

Troy Innocent is an Australian artist and academic who created Wayfinder Live. In this interview with me, he describes his influences for the game and the process of bringing it to Tampere in 2019. This is a slightly extended version of the video included in the exhibition.

Wayfinder Live Tampere Montage

This video was not included in the exhibition but I add it here as “bonus content.” It features GoPro footage that Innocent took showing the 16 Wayfinder Live codes that were hidden across Tampere when he brought the game there from 8th - 16th April, 2019 for Tampere University’s “Urban Play” Spring Seminar.
