ACT NOW _ the social play between humans is triggered by objects. The haptic, the physical, the touch connects us with the world, with all non-human players. Then in Experimental Game Cultures studio the EPISTEMIC OBJECT—der Erkenntnis–Gegenstand—can be touched, squeezed turned around. In this way the closer we look to society, the world as we know it, the democracies are shaped by personal experiences—and can be understood—and in the best case collectively formed. ACT now with the discourse activating objects—the PLAY-THINGS you touch in 2026: 26 Play-Things connecting to meaningful actions. Through a public showing, an exhibition we offer the experience of play as a method to socially intervene. Use our toys to reshape the world! Not Toys R´us but we are Toyers. This neologism describes the activated player, who thinks and ACT with play things, in deep play and social action.
