We are looking for citizens of Gelsenkirchen to take part to an exciting and unusual project called Investment Zone. It is at the same time a game, an experiment and an art work: We invite 10 locals to make use of a plot of empty land at Schalker Verein (aka game zone) over the course of 9 month. The first meeting takes place in December 2013, and the game really starts January 2014.

Participants will come together every two weeks to deliberate and discuss in a structured manner the development of the plot. At each meeting micro-grants will be given to every player to invest in the game zone. Until the next meeting players will follow through with their decisions. The players can act on their own, or they can pool their resources and collaborate to achieve greater impact. It is entirely up to the discussions and negotiations between the players what investments and actions in the zone shall be taken.

Tellervo is presenting our works at Influencers -festival November 9 in Bareclona. This great non conventional festival was originally initiated by by artits whom we really admire – Eva and Franco Mattes a.k.a. 0100101110101101.ORG  and it is organised by Bani Brusadin together with them. About the festival: “The Influencers is an atypical festival devoted to experiments in non conventional art and communication guerrilla. For three intense days we will be discovering rebellious projects, inventions and adventures in the troubled waters where information society, everyday technology and fragments of collective imagination mix and clash into each other.”
