Description of
installation:
In some occasions, it seems that games
aren't simply used to ‘play’. It can also be that they aim to change particular
behaviors of people. Take for example this game of Tetris, designed by alumni
of the Design Lab at the University of Sydney. Their innovation, TetraBIN combines the enjoyable aspect of playing a game with a
serious, more societal-oriented aspect of behavioral change. The idea is pretty
simple: depositing trash in this special bin allows you to play Tetris.
It appears that more and more, designers and
creatives are using the city and streets for fun and excitement. These examples
of old school games implemented in our urban landscapes could be regarded as
one of the most up to date trends in circulation. However, some of them
show us that sometimes it’s not simply about the idea of playing games or
improving our public spaces. By offering an active and playful twist, people
could become more aware of their behavior in public, and, in turn, even
positively changing it.
