1. Day Of The Figurines – Blast Theory

Since September 28th, the population of the 
fictional town represented in Day Of The 
Figurines has been growing. Inundated by an 
increasing number of game characters, the laser 
cut steel city at the heart of Hau 2 provides the 
stamping ground for an equal number of miniature 
figurines, each one representing a player 
enjoying the game. If you aren’t a player yet and 
live in Berlin, come and join in the experience 
every day from 16h – 20h at HAU2*,

* On Thursday, 12th of October, Day Of The 
Figurines is only open from 19h onwards – 23h.

Day Of The Figurines: Game Rumours



9.02 am at the RATResearch institute. HASSAN, who 
has a muscular chest, is frustrated from trying 
to throw his SICK DOGS over the gates. The brawny 
liberator has a clutch of the animals with him 
after creeping out of the institute with the 
sound of alarm bells in his ears. Now, stuck 
inside the perimeter fence, HASSAN meets 
SUPERGIRL, who kick starts a little fun by 
hitting him with her BRANCH.



JOHN, on the other side of the gates, says nothing.



Meanwhile in KATH's Cafe, rumours have started 
that HASSAN was in bed with SHINGLES, thus 
blowing his chances of success at the RATResearch 
institute. However, dreamy MARGHERITA, still 
angling for a way to run away with HASSAN, 
pointed out that SHINGLES left town the day 
before.



By 9.35am FRÄULEIN AGATHE, a stewardess cool as 
ice, is standing outside the institute gates. She 
has followed HASSAN from the PRODuct Barn. HASSAN 
apologizes for not being able to give her a bunk 
up, explaining that he can't quite get the hang 
of his STEPLADDER. JOE AND BILLY appear and offer 
some advice on the use of tools and they all head 
off to KATH's for some TEA. They are feeling 
poorly.



Back at KATH's Cafe, MARGHERITA is trying to get 
HASSAN's attention by feigning illness. BARNEY 
enters wearing a colourful WRISTBAND.

"That's a lovely wristband Barney. Where did you 
get it from?" hopes HASSAN and dwells on the 
subject until BARNEY, an eight year old boy, 
DROPs it. Seeing her chance, MARGHERITA suggests 
to HASSAN that they go get themselves a SAUNA but 
it's shut until 2.00pm, as BARNEY found out. It's 
still only 10.40am. HASSAN, MARGHERITA and BARNEY 
all leave to the INTErnet Cafe together.



CINDY looks on across the steamy cafe but says nothing.



Day Of The Figurines is the world’s first  MUD 
(Multi User Domain) for mobile phones and was 
developed as part of the European research 
project IPerG (Integrated Project on Pervasive 
Gaming) and in collaboration with Mixed Reality 
Lab, University of Nottingham. Following FIRST 
PLAY BERLIN, Day Of The Figurines will visit the 
National Museum of Singapore in December 2006 and 
tour the UK in 2007.

2.  First Play Berlin – big opening Thur 12th Oct with a Trampoline Event



Be the first to experience FIRST PLAY BERLIN. A 
virtual tree. A handheld world evolving with 
every beat of your heart. Memories of a childhood 
home and an English garden brought to life by new 
technology. A CCTV city tour. FIRST PLAY BERLIN 
fuses the player and the game, the handheld and 
the heartfelt, the cerebral and the technical – 
short-circuiting the limits of play.



Blast Theory, Active Ingredient, Michelle Teran, 
Daniel Belasco Rogers, Simon Heijdens and Frank 
Abbott converge on Hebbel am Ufer for FIRST PLAY 
BERLIN. The result is a weekend of trend-setting, 
cutting-edge international live media art 
projects that combine technology, performance, 
interaction and installation.



The opening is taking place at Hebbel am Ufer, 
HAU2 on Thursday 12th October from 8pm in form of 
a Trampoline Event. For one night only, 
Trampoline showcases a unique blend of eclectic 
and emergent new technology art from around the 
world. With live performances, installations, 
screenings and presentations, the evening will 
culminate in a live concert of Heidi Mortenson.



It's a packed programme. Don’t miss it.





FIRST PLAY BERLIN is funded by the German Federal 
Cultural Foundation, British Council, Hebbel am 
Ufer and Radiator Festival for New Technology Art.
