Urban Explorers and Mobile Games

Sunday July 29, 2007

Here?s a Times Article on so-called urban explorers. It?s too bad the title of the article, ?Children of Darkness,? is so sensationalistic, because it casts aspersion through its connotations. Urban explorers are interested in venturing into unknown and untravelled parts of New York. The explorers? desire to reframe the urban experience of NYC reminds me of how HRGs and mobile games help us question our relationship to space, and affect our relationship to the urban environment and to each other through the game play.
