July 24th - #2 Human Automaton
Premise: Control another human in a live gallery space using a controller. Run into issues of the controlled player refusing to obey commands, them not knowing where they're going and bumping into things. Playing with interface and trust between anonymous players. Mechanics:
One player wears motorcycle helmet (or equivalent) with a mobile device mounted inside. On the screen commands are displayed showing what the player should currently be doing.
In an elevated location of some sort, another player has a control and is sending commands to the first player of what they should be doing. Commands include: turn left, turn right, walk forward, walk backwards, pick up, dance and others.
Hopefully, the commander won't mislead the helmeted AND helmeted player will cooperate.
