Wayfarer V1 was a sell-out live event in 2007 at Sydney’s Performance Space – its a live computer game with actors as avatars. ‘Wayfarer v1’ utilised a custom-designed hardware-software system. The players streamed video, audio, bluetooth and RFID from body-mounted Vaio micro computers, to the Wayfarer software which displayed the players’ clock-times, site location, loot and camera point of view.
Urban Agents is the 2nd Wayfarer project – a fortnight long social media event taking place on the streets of Melbourne in late 2009, open to anyone who registers to play. Citizens, agents, advocates and moderators play together to create a smorgasbord of video interventions. Urban Agents tempts you to make sense of your city, to question, report back and to re-invigorate and re-interpret the urban spaces you call home. Wayfarer engages citizens experientially in an event that animates both the real world and online communities.
