Incredible Witness: Findings From the Public Laboratory
summary
Incredible Witness runs live public experiments: a mediated navigation exercise with a deck of 30 instruction cards that deliberately induces disorientation, a card game mapping letters colors numbers to taste and sound that reveals commonalities and gaps, and a 30‑minute group prototyping session (groups of four or five) that yields multiple playable designs. Evaluation uses entrance interviews and postgame surveys; visitors report the games feel unnerving and fun and several prototypes are adopted for exhibition alongside a JavaScript piece called Graphene Color Machine.
