*CONTEXT: *
Play Cells is an ongoing series of digital artworks in form of animations
re-elaborating recorded video-games in order to show how their visual and
interface is iconographic in a deep and often unconscious way.
Every cell representing each one a very specific game genre, has stripped
each video-game of narrative and clear graphics; those things that are
commonly considered essential to define its intrinsic language.
The four abstract animations (Play Cells: CC, D, NMS and TW), highlight how
the suggestion of a specific color combination, movement or visual input is
enough to recall a certain gaming/real experience, since video games are
more than a mere entertainment product, but a complex language not
relegated only to gamers but part of our cultural heritage.
Play Cells, it’s not about linking every cell to the game it originates
from or label it to its genre, but it is the ability to re-experience
intuitively through the bare language that is so strong rooted in mass
culture.

*ABOUT ROUTER.GALLERY*
The router is used as an autonomous gallery space to show digital artworks.
Artworks are distributed by the router through its local network with NO
Internet connection; all exhibitions are accessible at the local site only.
Curators present artworks on a small web server included on the router,
with access granted through an open WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) over
WIFI. The format brings both the intimate character of Net-Art-Activities
back to a site-specific relation and opens up new possibilities for a
discursive reception in a public situation. The router-gallery-space
program for exhibitions installed at PANKE in Wedding, Berlin, is presented
here, along with event details and information about the artists and
curators. The router.gallery is an independent satellite of panke.gallery
and features exhibitions by guest curators on a monthly basis.
