The piece of art is an interactive projection which has been created based on a popular soviet electronic game sharing the same name. Putting cultural and philosophical sense of the definition of “game” aside, we underline communicative opportunities of a game. True bonding of generations is achieved with the simplest and clearest things, for example with an electronic game. The ascent into the soviet past isn't an accident; the reason for it is the keen interest in Soviet Union, even though some were born after the fall of the USSR. The aim of our variation of the game,“Nu pogodi”, is the same as the original one which has been named “Electronica IM-02”. The game itself: catching eggs for catching eggs. This idea is similar to the main idea of bombers – process for process. The catching object is exploding spray paint cans. The play of the game is the same as “Nu pogodi”, but the context and manner of the actors has been changed.
