The group exhibition WORLDBUILDING: Gaming and Art in the Digital Age is now open in Düsseldorf.
It is curated by starcurator
Hans Ulrich Obrist and will run untill December 10 2023.
WORLDBUILDING examines the relationship between gaming and time-based media art with a journey through various ways in which artists have interacted with video games and made them into an art form. In the words of the curator Hans Ulrich Obrist: “
In 2021 2.8 billion people—almost a third of the world’s population—played video games, making a niche pastime into the biggest mass phenomenon of our time. Video games are to the twenty-first century what movies were to the twentieth century and novels to the nineteenth century.”
From single-channel video works to site-specific, immersive, and interactive environments, WORLDBUILDING encompasses over thirty artworks from the mid-1990s to the present.
