Hi all,
In researching the pros and cons of urban gaming we came across a very interesting blog post regarding Prevasive Urban Gaming by a man who goes by the name imomus.
He is and artist and writer who has contributed to The Guardian amongst other things.
He traces a history of collective gaming right back to the Middle Ages, when the city became a playground that hosted Mob Football. And while his article takes a cynical approach to the concept of turning a city into a playground, he does highlight some interesting issues and references the Come Out and Play festival, The Situationalists, and Guy Debord
To read his interesting take on the whole thing visit his blog entry here
