Annoyed with the world? Help us to mess it up!

Thursday, 26th February 2009, at 7 p.m.
Location: Oslo Central Station, see map below.

Silver & True present free a game for mobile phones, which turns people into social viruses with unpredictable behavior. A perfect tool to annoy surroundings! Bring your phone and try it out!

“We take the computer game out of the box and place it back into the reality. A hired actor equipped with a hidden mobile phone is walking around in Oslo S and anybody can control him by mobile phone using it as remote control. People can control his movement and send him simple commands, like kneel down, hug, kiss etc… When the actor hears these commands, he has to do them, but still act natural. You can imagine how it affects social games!”
