More about Naked on Pluto.
http://pluto.kuri.mu

Naked on Pluto is a Massively Multiplayer Text Based Sandbox Adventure 
Game on Facebook. When you enter the game, you find yourself on Pluto, 
in a city under the rule of Elastic Versailles revision 14 (EVr14), an 
Artificial Intelligence functioning as an entertainment colony. It is 
the Las Vegas of the Solar System, a true paradise for consumers and 
corporations alike.

The game explores the limits and nature of social networks from within, 
slowly pushing the boundaries of what is tolerated by the companies that 
own them, carefully documenting this process as we go. Story and play 
are combined with an investigation on how exposed we are on social 
networks, and how our data are being used.

The project will be developed during a shared residency at NIMk, BALTAN 
Laboraties and Piksel, between June and November 2010, by Dave 
Griffiths, Aymeric Mansoux and Marloes de Valk. The project is licensed 
Copyleft. The research and development process will be documented and 
can be followed on http://pluto.kuri.mu and the game can be played on 
http://naked-on-pluto.net (teaser only a.t.m.). Thanks to servus.at for 
hosting kuri.mu.
