    Razorhurst :: Cutthroat Games

    ...25.06.09

    Our office is in The Cross and every day I walk past various selections of junkies, whores, stinky garbage and homeless people asking me for money. As we skip past them all to go and get take-away coffees and blog on our Macbooks, sometimes I think that this is a bit of a shady area.

    As it turns out, it’s pretty wholesome and clean compared to how it used to be, when cut-throat-razor-wielding murderers roamed the streets in a violent and bloody gang war over illegal alcohol in the 20s and 30s. (That’ll teach them about prohibition, huh?)

    Richard fox at D/lux Media Arts has created an art-game called Razorhurst which uses the cut-throat history of Darlinghurst as its virtual landscape. Participants use hand-held GPS devices to navigate the art-game space overlaid on the actual streets of Darlinghurst.

    The game world of Razorhurst has goals and points, and you have to traverse the streets with your device, where you come across (in game land, and possibly reality) a selection of shady characters and obstacles.

    David Cranswick, director of D/lux says, “What we are doing here is more akin to a mixed reality experience – and a simple example is how when you walk through the city or a forest with your mp3 player and buds how the music you listen too transforms your experince of the space. So with the GPS you get sound and image triggered by where you are. So it makes for a multi dimensional experience.”

    So if Kings Cross isn’t threatening enough for you already, grab yourself a Razorhurst GPS set and get to know some high-tech creeps instead. From the 5th of July.
