Wayfarer v 2 - Urban Agents — Sign up now to play online! :: October 26 - November 7, 2009 :: Public Forum: November 8; 1:30 - 4:00 pm :: The Black Box Theatre, Melbourne, Australia.

Wayfarer v 2 - Urban Agents is a locative social media event, converging gameplay, creative intervention and site. During the 2 week event, urban agents are out on the streets of Melbourne creating socially responsible interventions; citizens (that’s most of you) form a short term online community using the Wayfarer website; and advocates are those of you who have agreed to add a bit more to the debate…

From October 26 urban agents hit the streets to engage positively and ethically with the city. Taking prompts from our website, they create interventions anyway and anywhere they want and upload video to our website. Actions might be large or small, planned or improvised including situationist; urbanist; improvised and invisible theatre; drifting and liminal explorations; parkour and skate; gifting, green living /carbon neutrality/ light footprint, inspirational; flash mobs. For those of you willing to take up the challenge and be an agent, Wayfarer tempts you to reinvent Melbourne as a playground for locative social media - to make sense of your city, to question and to re-invigorate and re-interpret the urban spaces you call home.

For those of you prepared to contribute as citizens, you’ll be part of a unique event. You’ll get to chat, discuss and vote on our teams of urban agents and generate debate around social responsibility, social media and the city.
