Exploring the Fusion: Crash Games as Art in a Contemporary Gallery

Picture this: a gallery pulsating with the energy of F777 Fighter, the cosmic allure of Space XY, and the adrenaline rush of Need for X. Can crash games be more than just pixels on a screen? Can they transcend the digital realm and materialize as captivating art installations in a contemporary gallery space? Let’s dive into the exciting realm of possibilities.

Crash games, with their dynamic visuals and interactive nature, possess the potential to become immersive art experiences. Imagine F777 Fighter translated into a kinetic sculpture, where the crashes manifest as explosive bursts of color and sound, echoing the intensity of the digital game.

Space XY, with its cosmic theme, could transform a gallery into an otherworldly environment. Picture visitors navigating through a celestial landscape, interacting with installations that mirror the unpredictability of the crash game, creating an unforgettable sensory experience.

Need for X, known for its high-speed thrills, might find its material form as a multi-dimensional installation. Visitors could step into a space where the speed and crashes are tangible, blurring the lines between virtual and physical realities.

  • Interactive Exhibits: Allow gallery-goers to engage with the crash game experience physically, triggering crashes and exploring the consequences in real-time.
  • Visual Spectacle: Harness the vivid graphics and themes of these games to create visually stunning installations that captivate and challenge perceptions.
  • Soundscapes: Consider incorporating dynamic sound elements that respond to the crashes, enhancing the immersive quality of the installations.

In the fusion of crash games and contemporary art, the possibilities are as boundless as the digital landscapes they draw inspiration from. The challenge lies in translating the essence of these games into tangible, material forms that captivate and resonate with gallery visitors. Could crash games be the next frontier in pushing the boundaries of what we perceive as art? The journey into this uncharted territory is as thrilling as the crash itself.

    Blood and Roses: Rollin and Borowczyk between Art and Exploitation

    4:00 pmLisbon, Portugal
    Jean Rollin and Walerian Borowczyk are two directors synonymous with European erotic cinema of the ‘70s. Straddling both art and exploitation, did the two filmmakers elevate the sex and horror films to something that has transgressed the conventions of both art-house cinema and genre filmmaking? Featuring illustrations and film ex- tracts, this discussion between Kier-La Janisse (publisher of a new collection of essays on Rollin) and Daniel Bird (author of a new book on Borowczyk) aims to compare and contrast Rollin and Borowczyk’s journey from the ‘60s art cinema to the ‘80s exploitation film. The books “Lost Girls: The Phantasmagorical Cinema of Jean Rollin” and “Boro: Walerian Borowczyk” will be available at the event.
