The Byte Space, first Museum of Digital Art in our country, inaugurated the exhibition "Play at your own risk", exhibition dedicated to videogames but in a pandemic key.

The exhibition is of international quality and brings together the work of artists who use video game languages ​​to address emerging issues in isolated contexts, distancing and uncertainty.

In this way, the exhibition aims to generate an invitation to play and in turn, to reflect on the impact of sudden behavioral changes in society during the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to Enrique Salmoiraghi, museum director, more than a year since the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, "We have experienced changes in the ways of interacting with others and with the environment. Confinement and social distancing, extreme disinfection, online study and remote work became part of the everyday scene ".

In that context, "These modalities have generated new habits and caused psychological effects that directly affect all areas of our life, including the way we relate to art ".

The “anguish before the confinement and loneliness” is presented, concern about the economic crisis, doubts about experimental vaccines; we find ourselves in a labyrinth of uncertainty whose exit we have not yet found, but when that happens, What have we learned?”, as the curatorial text of the exhibition explains.

This exhibition, brings together the work of artists who use video game languages ​​to address these issues. Works that involve the player directly to recreate these circumstances and be able to observe them from other perspectives.

"Play at your own risk", it's not just an invitation to play, but also to reflect on the consequences of these sudden changes in behavior in contemporary society.
