Tbilisi display to explore multimedia narratives, videogame art

Questions of cultural reference in videogame form and multimedia will be explored by a group exhibition at Tbilisi Photography and Multimedia Museum starting this Thursday, with interactivity for viewers and series of meetings packaged as part of the display.

Hosted by In-between Conditions - a transdisciplinary platform of contemporary creatives - and entitled Simulation Fields, the exhibition will bring works by seven artists within a space designed by another to ask how the evolution of semiotic forms in videogames interacts with cultural context.

Looking at how layers of virtual presentation and digital medium shape the experience of the art form, the show will seek to explore the artistic potential of videogames, and how they become part of the collective consciousness.

What is the nature of games, and how was this nature implanted in our collective consciousness – as a cultural code, a disposition, providence or a choice?
