• Overview
    • The Innocents is a participatory game for self-organised groups, which tells a story about a hypothetical collective of artists on a year-long residency. No matter how extreme the events take place within the narrative of the game, the year ends with a group exhibition. This show is reified as a digital render printed on perforated vinyl mesh, creating a diaphanous parallel plane that implies phantom architectural hoardings and an aperture into unspoken potential.
    • Through asking questions, generating conflicts and encouraging players to work on projects together, the game functions as a research tool. The in-jokes and social tensions of a group of players are given a safe environment where they can be expressed, but are also synthesized into an aleatoric narrative, giving them consequence and autonomy.

      • As part of Me Gustas Pixelad festival, daily open playsessions of 'The Innocents' were hosted against a backdrop featuring exhibition of works generated during previous playsessions.  In these public games, each group created a story set in a parallel world where La Casa Encendida was run by a self organised group of artists - pooling information about the local area and experiences and assumptions about the role of the institution.
