64 Ways of Being
64 Ways of Being is an urban art experience that uses location-specific participatory artworks, game design and stories to bring the city to life.
Join one of two guided walks taking place during the Heritage Festival which complements the app 64 Ways of Being. The walks are led by Pae Tākaro Place of Play Coordinator Kate Finnerty, starting at Tūranga Central Library and finishing in the Greenway.
Gap Filler’s Pae Tākaro Place of Play programme has collaborated with Dr Troy Innocent from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) Future Play Lab to create an Augmented Reality (AR) journey in Ōtautahi Christchurch called ‘64 Ways of Being.
64 Ways of Being is an urban art experience that uses location-specific participatory artworks, game design and stories to bring the streets, parks and Ōtākaro Avon to life via mixed reality. Players will explore the streets of Ōtautahi and be guided through the city and along the banks of the Ōtākaro. Along the way, players are prompted to reimagine the world through urban play.
This project draws together indigenous and tauiwi (non-Māori) artists and the diverse stories of our city through playable public art, encouraging people to engage with the city in new ways. This collaboration also supports long-term strategic research and evaluation of the social and/or cultural benefits of the urban play experience.
Explore the streets of Ōtautahi by downloading the 64 Ways of Being app or, during the Heritage Festival, join one of two guided walks - 13 and 24 October. You will be guided through the Central City and along the banks of the Ōtākaro. Along the way you will encounter interactive artworks, audio stories and music from local and national musicians, prompting you to reimagine the world through urban play.
