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.
