WORLDBUILDING, VIDEO GAMES AND ART IN THE DIGITAL AGE | CENTRE POMPIDOU-METZ

“Video games are to the 21st century what movies were to the 20th century and novels to the 19th century”, this is the incipit of the new exhibition organized by Centre Pompidou-Metz, and curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, which will open on Saturday 10 June. Worldbuilding: video games and art in the digital age is a transgenerational exhibition that examines the increasingly common trend of contemporary artists to use the aesthetics of video games in their expressive form.
The exhibition will include 3D animated videos, virtual reality experiences, interactive video games based installations, and videos by artists from around the world.
