Long-distance LARPing ♦ Temporal Worlding
Sickhouse & Nerdlab once again bundle their forces, organizing five digi LARPs as a part of the Long-distance LARPing project.
Join us for Temporal Worlding, a game about the relations to time that shape our lives. Taking place on June 6, 2026, 3-6 PM, you are invited to a game experience that changes how you move through worlds by altering your perception of time. Temporalities become materials that can be shaped and sculpted through language, technology, and embodied action.
Temporal Worlding is a Remote Reality Game that blends digital gaming with Live Action Role-Playing (LARP). In pairs, you will embody a single character split into two bodies: gamer and avatar. Connected through a video call, you go on a walk together, navigating time through voice, movement, and a shared narration. Along the way, you will come to terms with how you perceive time – not only through standardized clock time or your own bodily rhythms, but also through social senses of the future, past, and present.
Feel invited to sign up in pairs. If you sign up alone, you will be paired with another participant.
About the artists: Carina Erdmann works on the intersection of game design, performance and philosophy, researching role play as a method for social speculation. Steph Holl-Trieu is an artist and writer who engages with the material conditions of perception and experience through text, performance and role play. In their collaborative work, they practice role-play as a form of collective research, working between artistic production, pedagogy and discourse.
