Downpour Workshop
Workshop as part of Computala 25 lead by V Buckenham
As part of COMPUTALA 2025, we hosted a workshop with artist, game designer and creative technologist V Buckenham, exploring the history of fortune-telling games and devices from paper oracles to mechanical curiosities. Participants used Downpour, V's own smartphone-based game-making tool, to create their own digital fortune-tellers. Downpour is built around the idea: that anyone, without prior knowledge, should be able to make something interestingly interactive in a spare ten minutes, and without needing access to a computer.
