This September ’24, FACT will be transforming their upstairs gallery into a new space dedicated to showcasing artists’ games and works made using AI technologies.
Dive into fantastical worlds and experience new forms of storytelling with games and playable artworks made by a range of international artists and indie game developers.
Fun, playful and suitable for gamers and non-gamers of all ages, Art Plays Games looks at how artists are increasingly using games as a way to challenge conventional forms of storytelling and offer us new ways to make sense of the world today.
On display from 5 September 2024 – 27 April 2025, the artworks and games will rotate, offering something new to discover each time you visit. Alongside the works, they’ll host a number of free and affordable events within the space, such as talks, workshops, and tournaments that explore questions around worldbuilding, gamification, and screen culture.
