Media: Illusion Buzzword Bingo

Illusion Buzzword Bingo is the name of a collective game based on an art project in the form of a novel, called Illusion. Bingo cards are distributed amongst the audience, with the particularity that they do not contain the usual 1-to-90 numbers, but words (a different combination of words in each card). A reader reads a passage of the novel Illusion out loud. Participating public will cross out words in their cards as they appear in the text when uttered during the reading. Like in the original game, there is a prize for the player who calls out “bingo”; that is, for the one who crosses out all words in their card before anyone else does.
Illusion Buzzword Bingo has been played in the following venues:
Artium, Museum of Contemporary Art, Vitoria (Spain). 25 April 2012.
INexactly THIS. Kunstvlaai: Festival of Independents, Amsterdam. 24 November 2012.
The Diagrammatic Practice of the Micropolitical. International Public Symposium. ZHdK, Zurich. 15 November 2013.
