Om Blank Arcade 2015
Blank Arcade: Games out of Joint is more than just a sequel, mod or expansion pack. It revisits its own concept through an exhibition of experimental games and artworks that push the boundaries of game design and theory. The curators invited artists, scholars and designers to propose works that investigate and question the 'instrumentality' of entertainment.
We are more and more surrounded by video games that propose to be more than just 'for fun': games for health, education, social and civic engagement and so on. But what else can games be? How can games be used for trouble-making, rather than problem-solving? How can games become environments for posing new questions about our society, beliefs, and lives in general?
This is an international collection, with participating artists from North America, Europe and Asia.
Curated by Lindsay D. Grace and Paolo Ruffino
