Port Phillip, VIC Clarendon Street Arcade Social Cohesion

Complete

Project partner RMIT University's Future Play Lab developed five arcade cabinets for the 13-week project. Students, artists, and game designers integrated local culture into interactive experiences for Clarendon Street visitors. Free gameplay allowed single or multiple players to learn about Aboriginal culture, local music, and the natural environment. The cabinets were available from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm each day so that patrons could also frequent local businesses.
