“States of Play: Roleplay Reality” steps inside the complex, contemporary landscape of video games. A collection of works (from a diverse range of practices and voices) focus on the use of roleplay within gaming, and the unique ability of this particular media to merge the real and the unreal. This exhibition, in the same way as many gamescapes, allows us to experience our reality from new positions, or even discover different versions of ourselves within it.
Professor Washko will present her project “The Game: The Game” in the exhibition, which is on view at the Foundation for Art and Technology (FACT) in Liverpool, UK, March 22 – June 17.
