IRL

Emotional Futures is produced by IRL, a gaming collective under the distributed artistic direction of Marcel Darienzo, Carina Erdmann, Steph Holl-Trieu, Andrew Pasquier, Xiaoji Song, Moritz Tontsch and Ingeborg Wie Henriksen. IRL brings together the diverse political and creative practices of its members, to produce games that engage audiences in physical and digital role-playing. IRL emerged from a hackathon organised by the Berlin-based collective Black Swan at KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, in August 2021. The following year, the group developed their first game concept while undertaking a residency at Callie’s. Their first game, Emotional Futures, is commissioned by LAS Art Foundation.
