They are hiding all around us. 

​

Some are tiny, almost impossible to see. Others are enormous, bigger than imaginable.

 

They are camouflaged on the side of skyscrapers and hiding in small scratches on park benches.

​

And they are abundant. 

​

Who are they? And why are they here?

​​

Switching on users’ pareidolia (the innate human capacity to see faces in our surroundings), The Mny invites kids to find and photograph face-like forms, digitally draw personas onto their images, and then offer them to the city. A growing collection of MNY show themselves as augmented reality animations as each child player quests to understand who the MNY are and why they are here.

​​

Moving through the city, the landscape becomes increasingly alive. Child players make and experience their drawings as a kind of virtual graffiti - a collective take-over that preferences children's ways of moving, seeing and being in public domains.​

​

The MNY is launched at Melbourne Fringe Festival and Melbourne International Games Week in October 2025.
