EXHIBITION OVERVIEW

Playtime – Videogame mythologies is an exhibition devoted to the culture of video games. It explores how the relationship between play, the various manners of gaming, and technology interrelate. An interactive presentation display historical documents, examples of GameArt and innovative games.

Specifically, the exhibition invites to explore computer games from a variety of different angles that correspond to the five sections informing the spaces of the Maison d’Ailleurs : « Rules of Play / The Game of Life » and the introduction to the mechanics of games ; « Game Geographies and PlayNations » on the spatial dimension of video games ; « Bodies and Minds », dealing with emblematic figures, how players relate with their avatars and the involvement of the body in the experience ; « Assault on Reality », which presents innovative creations mixing the real and the virtual ; and a historical section « Archeology of Fun ».

The exhibition Playtime – Videogame mythologies is part of Pro Helvetia, the Swiss Arts Council’s GameCulture – From Game to Art programme : between 2012 and 2012, this programme addresses the social, economic and esthetic issues raised by the video games, and provides new ways of relating to an art form so frequently caricatured.

This major project allows the Maison d’Ailleurs to position itself once again as a museum specialized in prospective-programming and emerging cultures. The conception of the exhibition programme was entrusted to the guest curator José Luis de Vicente (Barcelona), journalist, researcher and expert on relations between digital art, culture and society : his knowledge and experience allowed Playtime – Videogame mythologies to be a rich, diverse and exciting exhibition.

Throughout 2012, demonstrations, events and actions of mediation in Yverdon-les-Bains and in the French part of Switzerland, are organized with numerous partners, highlighting the current research in the field and offering to a wide audience the opportunity to experience the diversity of the art of video games.

A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR

Could we once and for all go without museums, these places where seemingly uselessness goes hand in hand with unprofitability? More generally, could we accept that a society no longer exhibit anything, that is, can no longer legitimately show what its citizens are creating? These are questions I have often pondered – not to come up literally with an answer, but to reach a more accurate definition of what a museum is, or should be.

Take the case of the Maison d’Ailleurs and let’s suppose that we have some first-time visitors: what are they going to see, above and beyond the unusual exhibitions on show ? They will first be met by some circumscribed spaces, devised as the constituent parts of a whole that is beyond them; so this museum is first and foremost an enclosed place. Now the nature of a museum cannot be confined within this property, since it is shared by many other sites... Something more is needed : here, the fact that within it appear works that at once recall the empirical world that saw them come into being and the historical tradition of which they are a part. Very briefly, a museum may be defined as a place that stands apart from other places and houses artistic creations; the Maison d’Ailleurs is part of a society and offers a symbolic representation of that society. Interestingly, we again find the two aforementioned properties in another field: video games. Indeed, setting aside its purely playful dimension, the video game, an ill-identified cultural object, is also an enclosed place and a host for representations that dialogue with the social sphere and with earlier video game productions. It goes without saying that this enclosed place is not quite of the same order as the museum venue, which is physical whereas the other is virtual; conversely, visitors pass through a museum like a video game, i.e. from space to space, from representations to more representations

But then... what do we get when the confined world of museums lays out the confined world of video games (which is itself already a world that includes representations)? We get Playtime, i.e., the ‘exhibition’ of an ‘exhibiting’ space; a mise en abyme therefore. It turns out that such a recursive process has always been viewed as stirring a feeling of amazement and hence as a condition for the possibility of a critique. Since the video game is on show in a place that is itself ‘a place of representation’, the mise en abyme device allows the visitor to grasp the nature of these two closed worlds which are museum practice and video games. This nature is easy to understand, since these two areas are in relation with all the other social places, ‘but in such a way as to suspend, neutralize or invert the whole set of relations that they happen to designate, mirror or reflect’ 1. In other words, the Maison d’Ailleurs and video games share a single essence: they are, to quote Michel Foucault’s concept, heterotopias (a material one for the museum, a symbolic one for the games). In this sense, when the science fiction museum takes over video games worlds, what it is doing is to take as its own material that already in itself depicts certain aspects of society. Then, by standing back from this material, the Maison d’Ailleurs offers its visitors a chance first to question a (virtual) space that partly reflects society’s values and ideologies, and secondly, through this space, the society that gave rise to it. Hence, taking advantage of the reflective impulse that any heterotopia will produce, the visitor is led to question his or her own reality and existence.

I am delighted to present Playtime – Videogame mythologies for, as a museum director, I am very keen to take part in the thinking process that comes to us from the world of video games. Through Pro Helvetia’s GameCulture programme, the Maison d’Ailleurs can be accepted as a heterotopia that ultimately offers our citizens an exhibition enabling them to think about what already informs their everyday lives and which will soon be a key component thereof. To exercise one’s thinking power, and so taste freedom: a museum’s usefulness strikes me as being proven.

THE PANELS OF THE EXHIBITION

Section I : Rules of Play / The Game of Life

If games are a form of culture, what form of culture are they?

Like dance or sports, games deal with movement. Like architecture and garden design, they imagine spaces. Games can also include narratives and storytelling. But above all, games are complex systems; dynamic processes engaging different actors in input-output relationships and feedback loops.

In the last fifty years information theory, cybernetics and network theory have shown us that to describe our time accurately, we need to recognize we live in an age of increasing complexity, where political, economic and social processes evolve through the non-linear interactions of multiple agents. Videogames may be the first form of popular culture to reflects this.

The very first videogames like Pong, Asteroids or Spacewar! were too low-tech to look realistic, and could only represent characters and spaces in very abstract ways. But since their very inception, games behaved like dynamic systems. The player engaged with other elements in a space where action was determined by a set of simple rules.

This section explores how game systems behave, the importance of rules and other key notions in games design like physics and storytelling.

Section II : Game Geographies and PlayNations

Science Fiction writer William Gibson coined the term “cyberspace” when he watched two kids playing on their Atari console and noticed that for them, the screen was not showing moving images; it was a portal to another kind of territory.

For american media scholar Henry Jenkins, the art of the videogame shares many traits with disciplines like garden design or theme park construction. In a certain way, videogames are the archetypical contemporary form of utopian architecture, following the traditions of fantastic and science fiction literature, encapsulating the playful mystery of labyrinths. Games are exotic worlds waiting to be discovered and explored by a player who is also playing the role of “flâneur”.

“Game Geographies and PlayNations” is a journey through the spatial and architectural dimensions of videogames, their history and artistic evolution. From the early flat, 2D geographies of Super Mario Bros. to the labyrinths of polygonal shooters like Doom and Quake, and into the vast, real size cities of the Grand Theft Auto series.

Today, independent game designers and digital artists are exploring the possibilities of game geographies as platforms that modify our notion of real space. To explore and wander, to enjoy the journey is in many cases, the only problem the player has to solve.

Section III : Bodies and Minds

Playing a game also implies usually playing a role. The shift in identity that we assume when we engage in gaming is one of its more intriguing qualities. What is the relationship that we establish with our avatars, those alternative identities we embody as we move around the game world? How does our sense of self changes when we customize a digital character to look and behave exactly as we wouldn’t in real life?

If there is a tension between the identity of our avatar and our own, there is also a intriguing relationship between our two bodies at both sides of the screen. Even seated comfortably, we cannot help to jump, wave our hands, moan and shout, as both bodies – flesh and pixels – are intertwined in the same action.

Joysticks and game pads have been the traditional interface between the player and the avatar, the thread that entangles both bodies. In recent years, though, both the videogame industry and independent artists and researchers have presented new innovative ways to strengthen the role of the body in game interaction. From ’s and ’s Kinect to more experimental corporal interfaces that play with notions of control and even pain, the future of game inter action will, no doubt, involve our flesh and skin in unexpected ways.

Section IV : Assault on Reality

Play is not an innocent activity that only children engage in; play, simulation and enactment are present in multiple dimensions of society. Today, the connection between reality and games is more ambiguous and blurred than what we have traditionally thought.

From war games and military simulacra to the simulation of financial markets, or the use of games in management, the power of taking decisions through playing strategies is increasingly finding strength in multiple domains.

Mobile technologies are putting games into the pockets of commuters and filling empty hours, and new disciplines like location-based and augmented reality games are avoiding synthetic worlds and using our everyday surroundings as the scenarios for game experiences. Today game designers who are developing experiences where the real and the virtual mingle in unexpected ways.

In the opposite direction, reality is also entering the narratives of games through the introduction of politics, activism, education and propaganda in the arguments of videogames. Serious games and political games, used in political campaigns and pedagogic efforts, are one side of the coin; activist projects and propaganda are other examples of the capacity of games to modify reality.

Artworks in section IV : 1- Playing the World’s Problems, an arcade of serious games : (a) Food Force, United Nations World Food Programme (b) CityOne, IBM (c) Foldit, Center for Game Science at University of Washington (d) Fate of the World, Red Redemption (e) ACTUV Tactics Simulator, DARPA 2- Gold Farmers, Ge Jin (China/US), documentary 3- Second Skin, Juan Carlos Piñero (US), documentary 4- The City as a Game Development Kit – Playing the City, games projects for urban environment achieved by the students of the Haute école d’art et de design – Genève

Section V : Archeology of Fun

At first glance, video games seem to involve a radical break with traditional board games. The digital interface and the everpresent monitor do indeed seem to be irreconcilable with either playing alone or the meeting of individuals interacting with each other around a table. And yet...

... and yet, traditional games are also played by rules, they too create specific topographies; allow us to feel physical emotions more or less intensely depending on how engrossed in the game we become, and they too can interfere with our everyday lives (hard to tear yourself away from a game etc.). In that sense, when you think about it, video games are carrying on the great history of games, meaning that they are a part of it while distancing themselves – just like snakes and ladders or role games, which also both belong to a game tradition and stand out from it owing to their difference.

This section serves two purposes. By exhibiting in the Espace Jules Verne representations of imaginary spaces and historical games divided up in meta-categories, we are seeking to show how the practice of video games is already potentially contained in the earlier practice of games. Then in the Pulps gallery, we want to make you aware of the esthetic variations of one particular game – chess. The book jackets and chess sets (“physical”, “electronic” and “video’)

7 are perfect illustrations of how it is impossible to separate video games and conventional games..

PUBLICATION/EXHIBITION CATALOG

Playtime – Videogame mythologies

On the occasion of the exhibition Playtime – Videogame mythologies dedicated to the esthetics of video games and to their issues, the Maison d’Ailleurs and Infolio editions publish a catalog that presents both the artworks exhibit in the museum and five original essays on five topics related to videogame’s practice. The issues of rules of play, virtual geographies, fictional immersion, interference with reality and archeology of fun, are treated both in terms of singular works and general papers; the reader is invited to browse an area that he find familiar, but still a bit opaque.

The catalog is available in three colors, remembering the choices that must be done by all the players when they’re playing video games.
