You Get Me

You Get Me is a mixed reality game played between Mile End Park and the Royal Opera House in London. It uses the internet to connect two sites that although they are only five miles apart geographically are separated by a much larger cultural gulf.

It combines a location based game with a conversation with eight young people. Following in the tradition of previous game projects such as Uncle Roy All Around You and Day Of The Figurines, You Get Me uses a game structure and then stretches it and extends it. It is an exploration of whether a game can be a conversation and whether technology bridges or reinforces social divides.
