A hybrid exhibition about the exciting and intricate journeys of games, music, film, and books across borders, ideologies and technological divides
Throughout the years, digital media has travelled across borders in many different forms: on media carriers such as cartridges, floppy disks, CDs, hard drives, and later via communication media such as the internet. Sometimes games were even copied through radio broadcasts. The hybrid exhibition about East-West media transfers focuses on the variety of media forms and contents that have been involved in trans-border exchanges, and the cultural phenomena that enabled such exchanges. Enthusiasts and collectors congregating around the consumption of games, music, or film have created unique subcultures and communities, each reflecting the Zeitgeist of a specific historical era and location.
The work on exhibition is curated and organised by members of the COST action *Grassroots of Digital Europe. We are open to artistic, academic, and activist contributions.*
