Psi Runner

A youth addicted to video-games struggles to find meaning and romance in his life: The 'Psi-Runners' are avatars of Free Runners in a narrative-that allows limitless expansion of play. Players are hooked by idents with their characters but all are linked by red training shoes (symbolizing The Red Shoes of addiction in the myth). The Red Shoes become an essential fashion statement and peer-group signifier, reinforcing the gamers gradual yet unrelenting withdrawal from real-life.
