Abstract
The paper describes a game-based interaction scenario around an existing media architecture, developed to integrate aesthetic, social, and technological dynamics. On screen, the game unfolded as users moved across a globe, using a spherical input device to direct their avatars across a dynamic world of obstacles. Recalling the singularity and site-specificity of a performative intervention, the multidisciplinary project is part of a larger research effort that explores the use of media facades as an infrastructural core of complex interfaces for multiple forms of engagement and the co-creation of transmedial scenarios.
