exhibition «The visible city/The city at play»

The exhibition «The visible city/The city at play», which will take place from 12 April to 25 August within Madrid’s CentroCentro cultural space, invites reflection on the influence of video games through their creative power and, in addition to influencing reflective capacity, their influence on the transformation of the city.

The exhibition aims to explore video games in their many facets as a medium that relies on symbolic language to connect with reality and, often, influence it. The concept begins with mediation between technology and reality, joined through the attractively visual language established in video games. In this vein, it addresses the potential influence it can have on dialogue between people and how they understand the city through the educational interaction offered by this digital world.

It therefore proposes exploration through varied interventions, projects and experiments that support the goal of exposing how the urban environment is represented and constructed using the language of video games. It is a more than recommended event for the most curious.
