Space Invaders: Art and the Computer Game Environment
Gallery 1, 2, Media Lounge & Public Spaces 17 December – 21 February FREE Entry FACT launches a season of computer gaming just in time for Christmas! With interactive games and industry events, a game-themed film programme and an exhibition that spills out into the city, Space Invaders is a programme of activity looking at video game environments and their progression to the real world. From minimalist Ataris to the mazes of Pac Man to the detailed cities of Grand Theft Auto, the computer game environment has strived for increasing levels of realism. But what happens when game space and real space are mixed? Going beyond well-trodden debates about the morality or political messaging of violent videogames, the exhibition revels in the confusion of real space and game space. From re-enactments of computer games in real life to so-called 'augmented reality games', to a playful nods to 'Tetris syndrome' and living life in first-person-shooter mode, the exhibition features artists Blast Theory, Ludic Society and more, alongside computer game favourites from throughout the ages.
