The Rise of Video Game Art

Video games have one more significant connection with digital art, and that is the experimentation with human-computer interface, interactivity and aesthetics of computer image that provided a base for artistic performances.

The workshop is built around the model of “teach one to reach one”, where a percentage of the workshop contributions are used to fund the same sessions we hold in remote countries where girls lack these opportunities to play and learn.

ART HOME 42 @ Herstreet
Mar 26 – Mar 28 all-day
ART HOME 42 @ Herstreet

Art Home 42 is the launch of the first edition of a temporary 2-days gallery combining contemporary art and interior decoration. The aim of the event is to break with the codes of traditional galleries in order to promote accessible art & designer furniture.
A space in which we will be recreating living spaces out the selected designer furnitures & showcase artworks of local artists. During this event, we will be organising talkshows around decoration, with designers, interior architects and experts from auction houses on contemporary art.
It’s a brand new concept in Geneva that has never been organised before and we would be really delighted to present a selection of works and furniture.
