When the Game Takes to the Streets
Pokemonmania captures the moment when a mobile game sent people out into the streets, parks and neighbourhoods in search of virtual creatures. What looked like a simple game became a shared ritual: strangers comparing screens, following the same map and turning everyday walks into small adventures.
Part of Pop Icons in Everyday Life, the work looks at how pop culture moves into real spaces and changes the way people behave together. Here, the screen is only the starting point; the real subject is the collective excitement that made an entire generation go outside to play.
