T(( ))mb

T(( ))mb by OMSK Social Club is a decentralised and non-hierarchical entity for embodied research of how language shapes the world we know and inhabit. Its speculative explorations take place in the form of Real Game Play (RGP) – an immersive process that blurs the boundaries between fiction and reality through collective worlding.

The T(( ))mb RGP scenario is based on Project Cassandra, a German task force funded by the Ministry of Defence to research literature as a predictive technology and a medium for early crisis detection. T(( ))mb departed from this actuality to performatively intersect the productive feedback loops between language and reality.The installation leads visitors along a winding path of asemic inscriptions and artefacts that recount the events that took place, their setting and characters. Its final immersive outpost further entangles reality and fiction through filmic storytelling of T(( ))mb’s linguistic developments, nurturing new, yet uncharted, territories.
