WallFour is a new live events company formed by John Sear and Adam Russell. Their current project is a massively multiplayer local game, controlled entirely by laser pointers. I found this interesting for a few reasons, the main one of which is the relative anonymity of each player: You know the people you’re with, but it’s practically impossible to trace any one laser dot back to the person controlling it. I think, somewhat similarly to Transformice, this has an interesting disconnect between people’s identities and their visible intentions.

Until now, WallFour have concentrated on longer format shows and games, but at Bit of Alright, they’ll be presenting and discussing some shorter format work.
