Wayfarer v3
Wayfarer Version 3.0 (Global Agents) was the third and final iteration of the Wayfarer series of works. It saw the evolution of the work to more directly encompass social change elements.
After receiving Vic Health funding we re-imagined Urban Agents to encompass players from any location. In order to facilitate this change we asked questions of the participants. As we were interested in the idea of social media for social change these questions related to enabling real world interventions within local communities.
Subsequently the uploading of actions would then become part of an array of local actions seen in a global context. These questions were kept deliberately open to elicit responses no matter what the differences in the local community each team was from.
