In a situational lab setting the Psycho-Ludic Research Group (PLRG) combines physical and virtual artefacts, methods and practices, malfunctions and noise of our psycho-ludic research in a performative arrangement. PLRG wants to allow itself to reflect on its various strands of playful research and development and deep dives into an array of overlapping objects, actions, sounds and mechanics. PLRG encourages the audience to become participants to help us out doing so.

Against the backdrop of the research network The PSYCHOLUDIC APPROACH (FWF/Programm zur Erschließung der Künste), artists, experimental psychologists and neuroscientists meet to play with the innermost. It is about the outermost – the continued existence of the world and democracy in the interplay of non-human forms of being, nature and AI.  

With political role-playing game consoles, we are launching the ROBOPSY (WWTF) project on role-playing with AI and the effects on collective memory. Multi-perspectivity proves to be a key concept. A game mechanic of spontaneous and unexpected changes of perspective can be applied to democratic processes and can thus be understood as a relevant principle of living together.
