People, Pets, Games:
Metazoa Ludens is the new computer gaming environment which allows pets to play mixed reality games with humans via custom built technologies and applications. The unstoppable progression of emerging technologies enables us to experience and to create new spaces, architectures, and situations that not only shape us, but which presently and also futuristically define parameters and standardizations of the quality of our lives. The structures, the core, or the code of technology determine its outcomes. Humans can mostly passively map and analyze the data that is coming as the result of the technological implications on societies. Metazoa Ludens searches for new moments that can change and beneficially solve this problem by placing animals as one of the new elements in this cycle. How can a living creature make changes to the very developed, robust, and not easy to change technologically driven systems? What are the possible [un]expected outcomes of this combination? To answer these questions, the Metazoa Ludens team creates simulations, analytic models, and prototypes that will bear new results and implications. The first game enables hamsters to have a superior position compared to the humans’ position in the game. The overall aims for these types of games are to provide new beneficial relations, communications, interactions, progressions, and the evolution of the Metazoa species.
