////Commoveo 0.2.5 or In the Search of Forgotten
////Free Time


MC: Gregor Kamnikar
Production: Ops! zavod Ljubljana

Commoveo* is a game – a game anyone can play. Therefore, you are invited to join in. We recommend you enter the game through your favourite medium of expression: improvisation, dance, music, words, cooking, riding the bike, collecting stamps, vacuum cleaning, repairing the car, watching tv, travelling to distant places or voyerism… And if you don`t have a favourite medium of expression? Nevermind. Let yourself be taken by the game. The game will find it for you.
////Commoveo is a game where the rules, course, content, meaning, purpose and sense of the game are being established through the game itself. It is not the everyday. It is not just improvisation. It is a symptomat – a symptom-producing machine, making the symptoms become symptomats themselves. It is a space for experiencing and exploring McLuhann`s formula, which says that the medium is the message, where the content of the medium is the user him/herself, and the medium itself an extension of the human body.
////Too complicated? Therefore Commoveo –play, create, produce, explore and educate at the same time. And exhaust Commoveo as an illusion**.
////In the festival version of the game Commoveo (version 0.2.5.) we will play several games and will be looking for the lost free time. Once again, join us for a game of Commoveo.
////If it is technically difficult to get your medium of expression into the space where the game will be played, please inform us beforehand at commoveo@ops.si or 040 226 981, so we can find the right solution for it together.

*commoveo, in Latin, means: to move wildly, to get excited, irritated, to provoke, awaken, confuse, daze
