GLITCHED: Quest for the Lost MacGuffin is an innovative interactive art exhibition created by a team of international artists, curators and museums in QUAD Gallery – an exploration game where the real and digital worlds collide. All, however, is not as it seems…
A MacGuffin is a plot device in the form of some goal, or desired object that the protagonist pursues, often with little or no narrative explanation. The specific nature of a MacGuffin is typically unimportant to the overall plot.
GLITCHED: Quest for the Lost MacGuffin is an exciting game-like journey in which the gallery visitor/player explores an immersive set built within QUAD Gallery, consisting of ‘typical’ scenes from films: the detective office; the haunted hotel; the claustrophobic warehouse; and the train carriage travelling to an unknown destination. The player searches for eight fragments of a ‘lost’ MacGuffin, fragments that exist as ‘Augmented Reality’ (AR) - visible only through the screen of a handheld tablet computer. Once the eight fragments have been found the ‘lost’ MacGuffin is revealed.
Our gallery is open late until 9pm on Thu 27 Oct.
