Vibezig

Finding ideal places for working and living in the future via telepathic vibe check - that is the concept of a new Leipzig start-up company. But how do we deal with memories that arise in places that were previously thought to be historically unencumbered?

With "Tracing Remembrance", the second part of the "Mirror // Mirror" project at the Theater der Junge Welt (TDJW), game designer and curator Sebastian Quack creates a new approach to the history of forced labor in Leipzig under National Socialism and to the debate on the culture of remembrance. Players move through the city with their smartphones. As scouts of the startup "Vibezig", they accept orders via app, check the vibe of locations and are drawn ever deeper into the question of how to deal with the memories attached to these places: Who has an interest in preserving them? What options do they offer? And who would want to just delete them?
