Throughout June 2006, five young artists played in and with Mediamatic's project space.
The project started off with one artist, with another joining every week.
The first artist was Tunc Topcuoglu (Turkey). He designed a singular game that needed to be discovered using a MAGNIFYING GLASS and a typefont to go with the game as well.

Bigger #1

Using the magnifying glass, users could omit and create new shapes with the basis of Topcuoglu's font, which incorporated both lower and upper case in one letter. Using a video camera to frame the work on display, the user was invited to play with the work, discovering breaks and connections throughout the images.

A different version of Topcuoglu's magnifying glass game was present during GAME TIME, an evening on 11 with design students from the Rietveld Academy demonstrating games they had developed.

At the Bigger opening on Saturday May 27th, RENE SG gave a speedpunk concert.
