the third woman Event

You are invited to join us for a presentation/performance event and screening of the film The Third Woman and The Vienna Underground locative game/performance project.

The project scripts an interactive Mobile Video Game related to U-Bahn spaces, using mobile phone sensing, that presents thematic content by progressively revealing the layers of a contemporary film drama.

The Project is launched from Vienna’s Karlsplatz U-Bahn site, to display and publicise the interactive film-game that we have scripted and produced in Vienna. The scenarios communicate universal issues, adding to a global conversation on migration, the black economy and the underground world of cities.

Using cutting-edge mobile technologies to read QR and Datamatrix codes, we are inviting participants to engage in a game on their personal mobiles with a biologic concept where the user might gather immunity, through participating in scenarios created to reflect on the mythic contagion of MIASMA.

This is experienced through an interactive film, based on reworking the theme of the THIRD MAN for the 21st century. Audiovisual materials will then be sent to participants’ mobile phones through a number of associated barcode reading technologies, depending on their locations
