While the Internet’s design is widely understood to be open and distributed, control over how users interact online has given us largely centralized and closed systems. ShiftSpace is an Open Source platform that attempts to subvert this trend by providing a new public space on the web. By pressing the [Shift] + [Space] keys, a ShiftSpace user can invoke a new meta layer above any web page to browse and create additional interpretations, contextualizations and interventions using various authoring tools. Being an open source software, ShiftSpace is an ongoing collaboration.

Kriegspiel

In 1978 the French Situationist Guy Debord designed and fabricated a board game called “The Game of War”. Thirty years later RSG is proud to release a new free online computer game inspired by Debord’s largely forgotten work. We explore the contradiction between Debord, a symbol of radical politics and art in 1960s France, and the Napoleonic war game he created. In Debord’s own words the game was the only thing in his entire body of work that had any value. Was it nostalgia, or a vision of things to come?

You are welcomed to download the game from the website for free.
