March 15th, 2005 | Published in Installations, Mobile
Bickr is an online website and physical installation that uses image-based games, or online photo competitions, to raise group effects where participants share physical spaces and compete with each other and against teams in other physical locations. Bickr uses Flickr.com’s tagging system as the basis to identify group affiliations, associate image(s) with game(s), and discover group commonalities and differences by tag(s). Our users are people are affiliated with communities that share physical spaces and interested in building group identities and dynamics through the use of imagery. Bickr groups are those interested in finding commonalities and differences from within and between groups and establishing image based dialogue between different communities. Winners gather the most votes within a set period of time. Bickr users can vote at a Bickr Station or online at Bickr.com. Bickr succeeded because people love to take photos.
