(F)UNFUG transforms the Humboldt Forum into a game-filled spectacle. Mixing escape rooms, scavenger hunts, and sports, (F)UNFUG reinterprets the Forum’s house rules as frameworks for play.
During each show, the public will only have one hour to work and play together to solve challenges spread throughout the building. Your task: Win all the games and create as much (F)UNFUG as possible before the time runs out!
Mischievous, nonsensical, and very (very) serious, this event will get you playing with the rules and questioning how institutions shape the possibilities of social and cultural interaction.
Sign up to play the game or drop in to watch the spectacle commentary. Popcorn will be available.
See you at the (F)UNFUG FORUM!
(F)UNFUG is part of Humboldting! A School Research Project, a long-term project of the Stiftung Humboldt Forum im Berliner Schloss at the intersection of education and art. Artistic direction: Alice Fleming and Darren O’Donnell.
Participants
Milton Lim (he/him) is a digital media artist, game designer, and performance creator. His research-based practice entwines publicly available data, interactive digital media, and gameful performance to create speculative visions and candid articulations of social capital. This line of inquiry aims to reconsider our repertoires of knowledge aggregation and political intervention in the contemporary context of big data and algorithmic culture. miltonlim.com
Patrick Blenkarn (he/him) is an artist working at the intersection of performance, game design, and visual art. His research-based practice revolves around the themes of language, labour, democracy, and economy, with projects ranging in form from video games and card games to stage plays and books. patrickblenkarn.com
Together, Patrick and Milton explore urgent questions around the social value of art, digital labour, and the political potential of games. Mixing their backgrounds in performance, philosophy, psychology, and digital media, their collaborations have manifested in video games, participatory installations, digital archives, and card games. Among their works are: asses.masses, a video game designed to be played live from beginning to end in a theatre and culturecapital, a performing arts economy trading card game. They are also the co-founders of videocan, the Canadian national video archive of performance documentation. Milton and Patrick’s projects have been presented across Canada, as well as in Argentina, Germany, Mexico, Eu countries, and the UK, in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Catalan.
