21.02.10 Agora Talk 16: DSLcollection: A Challenging Project between the Gaming and the Art experience - Karen Levy

In exclusivity for Agora; @KLevy75 from @Aika.Connection  introduced us the “Forgetter”, the new VR Game concept to host the prestigious #DSLcollection. More info ►►   @AgoraDigitalArt What did we learn? What are the curatorial challenges to build narratives and immersive experiences in different environments: such as #VRChat or on #Stream - the gaming platform. DSLCollection From the very beginning of setting up the DSLcollection in 2005, Dominique and Sylvain Levy wanted to establish a model that would make collecting art continuously active and meaningful, always moving with the shifting times. This collection pursues an interactive and participatory approach, redefining the traditional relationships between art and its audience, deconsecrating the public’s approach to art, avoiding any intimidation and countering the notion of art as elitist. In 2010, the collection was the first available on an IPad. In 2012, the collection built a museum on Second Life. In 2016, DSLcollection was among the first private collections to build a VR museum. Today, DSLcollection embarks on a new journey in the video game realm. For the collection, this new adventure is a creative project that uses gaming as a language. @dslcollection @dominiquelevy_dslcollection About The Forgetter @forgetter_thegame is the game where you erase traumatic memories to recycle a creative brain The “Forgetter” will go live in Steam mid-March 2021. https://www.forgetter.net/ Created by game developers Alan Kwan and Yang Jing of Sometimes Monastery, “Forgetter” allows players to assume the role of someone tasks to destroying artists’ traumatic memories in order to make them more creative. 🧠 @alankwan828 About @AgoraDigitalArt Agora Digital Art is a certified social enterprise.
