Considering gaming as a contemporary and global phenomenon, the exhibition The Seashore of Endless Worlds calls for social issues to be brought into play.

Artists and researchers work here using different definitions and uses of games to make sensitive and materialize the conditions and situations of the present: diversity, economy, environment, geopolitics, digitalization... Their games make it possible to expose and rethink in a dynamic and dynamic way, collective rules and common goals that shape society. Artistic proposals, activated during participatory workshops, invite us to grasp the sometimes ambivalent virtualities of the game as a critical tool and generative fiction to approach and engage the complexity of the world and its realities.

Symposium: From November 20-21 2023

The notion of play escapes definitions, being, undoubtedly, this dimension of the social which inscribes the consciousness of the world to artifacts as a transductive process. The program of conferences and conversations, which invites artists, researchers and theorists, will attempt to open up the understanding and uses of games by approaching them through the prisms of game theory and gamification. , modeling and experimenting with new forms of social organization.

The final program, as well as its times, will be announced later here and through our newsletter.

Taking part in the Symposium will be: 0x Living room, Ahmed Isam, Aldin, David Blandy, Ruth Catlow, Joshua Citarella, Crude Futures, Nolan Oswald Dennis, Max Haiven, Half Earth Socialism, Rok Kranjc, Matteo Menapace, Moving Castle
