The interactive computer game "Bordergames" is the most recent project of the Spanish artist and activist group La Fiambrera Obrera. With their work, the group addresses teenagers with an immigrant family background. In workshops, these children s attitudes and opinions about their reality become fundamental for the creation of the plots and settings of the game. The game reflects not only how they perceive themselves or want to have themselves perceived, but also on how they are or feel they are perceived by society. Here, it is they who decide how they want themselves to be represented. The project contributes to their integration; the teenagers gain means of articulation and thus access to the contemporary social debate. At transmediale.06 the audience can actively participate in the design process of the game, as well as make suggestions toward its further development.
