Welcome!
A message from our curator: Raghav Bashyal
“SCREENSHOT” is an exhibition of work in interactive media and games which centers the artists’ creative process. The title refers to the act of taking a snapshot of a work-in-progress – one of myriad ways of documenting the process of creating games and interactive media. This process is the central theme of the exhibition.
We invite submissions which unabashedly expose the raw artistry behind each work. The materials should illustrate the story of failures and triumphs which is left to tell after the work is complete.
This exhibition comes at a time when we as artists – especially those of us who come with marginalized identities – are called to raise our voices for our work to be recognized, and to value each-other’s labor.
Share with us your epiphanies. We all have something to learn, and something to teach. We are hoping to spark an honest and frank conversation about how we go about making games and interactive art.
