Tentacles: public iPhone art installation

Added by Sanja

Tentacles is a unique application for the Apple iPhone/iPod touch turning your device into a mobile game controller enabling your participation in a multi-user, location-based game projected into public spaces. Tentacles can be played indoors or out – projected on walls, in theatres, stadiums, giant outdoor screens, or on the side of a building.

How do I play?
Simply download Tentacles, which will be available soon from the Apple Apps store and install it on your iPhone/iPod touch.

Where do I play?
The initial prototype for Tentacles will have its public premier at two outdoor locations as part of the Scotiabank Nuit Blanche festival in Toronto from dusk to dawn October 03, 2009. Look for Tentacles at the CFC Media Lab Prototype exhibition at the Lennox Gallery (12 Ossington Avenue).

Tentacles is an ongoing project developed with funding from The Consortium on New Media, Creative, and Entertainment R&D in the Toronto Region (CONCERT), support from the Ontario Media Development Corporation, and with the participation of Apple Canada.
