Game exhibition
Level Up exhibition: Gamescape
Level Up will organize a game exhibition at the conference site: the Educatorium. This year finally a few game exhibitions were organized in Holland, all with a main focus on the history of computer games. The Level Up exhibition however will concentrate on a different aspect, that manifests itself within every computer game: the so-called gamescape. The gamescape is the virtual landscape, architecture or game-environment in which the game is situated.
The games that will be exhibited have non-commercial purposes, and are made mainly by artists. The creativity shown at the games in the exhibition is therefore not limited by sales figures, but shows an experimental, conceptual and daring vision on the computergame and especially on the gamescape. The gamescape is abstracted, overdesigned, hidden, open source, et cetera. This exhibition will be organized in close collaboration with the Utrecht Universitymuseum and the Utrecht School of the Arts, faculty of Virtual Theatre and Games. Of course all of the games exhibited will be playable by the audience!
