The Game of Me

The Game Of Me

by Aleyeldin Baracat (Egypt)

Genre: Interactive Immersive Installation

“The game of me” is an immersive installation of my healing journey, a journey towards self-love and compassion. It channels my personal struggles in exploring my identity while growing up in a conservative community in Egypt. For this game, I used my actual diary, notes, thoughts, everything that helped me heal and learn to love myself again: It was my own sort of therapy.

Snapshots of my life are turned into an art installation where people can just look at it or play it. Every single element is there for a reason and tells part of my story and there are so many hidden details in different gamified experiences immersing the viewers deep into my personal life. Designed in a non-linear way, it combines several technologies from Augmented Reality and Projection Mapping to Creative Coding.
