Digital Street Game
Digital Street Game is a mobile social gaming project conceived by two graduated of NYU's ITP program - Michele Chang and Elizabeth Goodman. Many to Many.
The research goals of this project are to gain a better understanding of how games can be integrated into everyday life, how technology can play a role in fostering engagement in urban places, and how collective views can aid in building community.
About the game
Digital Street Game is an Internet-enhanced street game in which players stage and document small interventions or "stunts" on the street corners of New York in order to claim turf on a virtual map of the city.
So once you've gone to the street corner, performed the stunt, and taken some pictures, upload them to our site to claim your turf. Once we have photos of your stunt, you are the official new owner of that corner.
