CURRENT & UPCOMING
Ctrl + Shift + Del is a command to delete. But what if it became a command to reset? The exhibition explores this question through speculative video games that reclaim digital spaces as sites of care, memory, and resistance. Three artistic positions offer distinct responses to overlapping crises—occupation, imperialist violence, capitalism, overtourism, climate collapse—not by escaping them, but by reprogramming their structures.
How can video games become tools for reclaiming digital space? This evening invites you to a collective gaming session and informal discussion exploring strategies ranging from queer safe spaces and activist interventions to speculative worldbuilding.
Drawing from the theoretical provocations of Donna Haraway, the radical imaginations of Ursula K. Le Guin, and the disruptive energies of glitch and xenofeminist manifestos, we will explore how digital tools can be used not to mirror the world as it is, but to invent it anew. Working with Unity and other creative software, participants will engage in the practice of worlding—a situated, speculative, and embodied approach to imagining space, systems, and stories through the lens of the digital.
How does a video game become a space for intimacy, conversation, and shared vulnerability?
In this gaming session, the audience follows two players as they immerse themselves in a game while engaging in a heartfelt conversation—a hybrid experience that weaves together theater, gaming, and ritual.
