Abstract

The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London ran a special temporary exhibition about videogames. The exhibition, titled Videogames: Design/Play/Disrupt, focused in particular on the design elements involved in creating videogames, and the growing mainstream prevalence of gaming as a digital culture, and as popular culture in general. Particularly striking was the sheer materiality of the creative process that goes into designing videogames, and the exhibition layout and opportunities for participation were conducive to a lot of visitor interaction with both the exhibits and with each other.
