This game is about the housing crisis, it shows how difficult and frustrating it is nowadays to find a home and be able to pay that. This game addresses the problem of the housing crisis but also the difficulties in the social field around this problem. You are looking for a house but your friends too, you are in the same boat and that seems useful because then you can work together and help each other, but at the same time you work against each other because you are both fighting for that unfeasible apartment. This is exactly what this interactive installation shows.

How does it work?

The goal is to turn al 4 lights on the Synthome on. Therefore, you have to play the game. There are 4 sound buttons and 4 slides. Each slide is made by incorporating a rotary encoder into a mechanism which makes a sound. It is also linked to the sound buttons. All the components are connected on a teensy 4.1 with an audio hold. A few buttons and slides, sounds easy right? But there is a small catch. There is a connected mirrored version on the other side. So you have to listen carefully to which sound belongs to your side. If you position everything correctly, the lights above turn on.
