Dive into the groundbreaking world of Blank Arcade 2015, a second event showcasing games as you’ve never seen before. In this episode, we uncover how this experimental exhibition transforms traditional game design into a powerful art form. From the physical challenge of 'Shapes,' a neurorehabilitation game that redefines physical therapy, to the digital odyssey of 'Arthur Rimbaud in Liberty City,' where the poetic world collides with the virtual streets of Grand Theft Auto IV to explore identity, these games push the boundaries of what games can be. We discuss concept-driven pieces that tackle pressing social, political, and environmental issues, revealing how game mechanics can engage players in complex conversations. This episode is your backstage pass to a revolutionary moment where games transcend entertainment and step into the realm of art—an exhibition you won’t want to miss!
