Call for Artists
The Process
Following an Open Call five local creatives will be chosen to create five brand new participatory Urban Games for the event. To ensure quality games and experiences for participants of the Connected City, all the artists will be mentored by Playable City Producers and mentors throughout the process, who together combine many years expertise in creating unique experiences for the public to explore, reimagine, and reconnect to familiar sites. Peter Lee would act as a local expert who can consult from the Korean side. In September, we will spend a week on site in Seoul, testing, refining and polishing the games for October and building engagement with local communities.
