Space Invaders Event. (Today) At Nederlands Instituut voor Mediakunst.
12 October ยท 20:00 - 23:00 Are you familiar with the television program Wipe Out? This (originally American) game show is based on virtual platform games. In these games contestants try to reach the finish as fast as possible by overcoming typical platform game obstacles, which naturally leads to many hilarious falls. This absorption of gaming-elements into 'daily life' is an example of the merging of two worlds that is the subject of the exhibition Space... Invaders: Art and the Video Game Environment. This exhibition with works by (inter)national (media)artists addresses the blurring of boundaries between the worlds of gaming and reality. The artworks illustrate the migration of the physical world into gaming-systems and, in reverse, the manner in which gaming-elements find their way into reality. In order to explore this fascinating merging of these separate worlds even more in depth, NIMk has invited both artists and theorists to reflect on this subject during the evening of 12 October. The speakers will be Margarete Jahrmann, Walter Langelaar and NIMk's current Artists in Residence Dave Griffiths, Aymeric Mansoux and Marloes de Valk. Start: 20.00 hrs // entrance 2,50 // Language English [email protected] http://nimk.nl/eng/calendar/space-invaders-event _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
