I am a player, i like to play games as i play with ideas. My background is in political sciences and for me games are powerfull. For many generations, it is the first way to learn and to be in the world, it is a way to educate, to have fun and to interact with life and other people. Games can also be seen as a mass consumption object able to manipulate people’s mind.
For me, games took the place of fairy tales in the way they build young generation’s imaginary. That’s why I think that games are a very serious question and in all the exhibitions I curated i aim to promote alternative games or artworks which offer another point of view of this dominant culture.
I also want to show what is reverse engineering in the art world – Machinima, 8bit or chip tunes music – and all the possibilities offered by the detournement of the initial use of computer games.
