Troy Innocent

Innocent is an urban play scholar and creator of 64 Ways of Being. He develops augmented reality games that blend physical objects with digital interfaces to reimagine everyday urban environments in playful ways. Working with the city as a material, his practice explores ways of being that reimagine, reconfigure and reconnect with the world.

one step at a time like this create participatory, locative and place-responsive works, locally, nationally and internationally. We do this by shaping and re-framing the world that the audience find themselves in. We re-frame that ‘world’ in a variety of ways: through audio soundtracks and headsets, mobile films and live encounters.
