In a situation of individual and collective processes, playful desires and destructive tendencies, WAR GAMEZ displays a complex and dynamic exhibition system defined as a battlefield. Art and artists fight, confront and bash each other in Real Life and online. WAR GAMEZ operates with intercontextual working strategies, pushing the borders of existing categories through fluctuations between digital and physical presence.
WAR GAMEZ brings the real war outside to the stage, forces it into the bullring, transforms it, makes it attractive, destroys it, builds beautiful barricades,shocks and awes with artificial weapons and creative violence, throws colour-bombs, attacks the visitors and itself. WAR GAMEZ creates links and builds complex alliances, it presents a wide range of media from neopainting to installation, sound, object, performance and hacked digital art. WAR GAMEZ has a web-presence, artists battle online on Tumblr, has a geotracked smart-phone-app that only works in the space and a green box to jump into virtual battlefields and landscapes. War is fatal and engine for many kinds of progresses and developments: Technical improvements, products, gadgets, computers, internet, GPS, nuclear energy, mass manipulation much more. War is cruel, biological and a state of mind. War games are an overall social internal and external situation, constitute a training ground for the army, are played to reduce and produce aggression. War is mortal - what can art perform - in an arrogant and playful way - Who to play against and who to fight? Take your weapons and smash artificial enemies in the ego-shooting view, upgrade your power, command and conquer! WAR GAMEZ hijacks your fears!
