The main goal of the seminar is to transform gaming practice, which is casually believed to be a nonimportant recreational activity, into a training ground for the production of knowledge and social and cultural studies.
This event is part of the public program of the World Gone By computer class.

Performance Hydrogen City is the new site-specific performance by Digital Object Alliance invites visitors to experience the materiality of a speculative world of the future through the possible embodiment of videogame logics. The performance took place at Hyundai Motorstudio Moscow as part of the joint program by Garage Digital and the online platform Rhizome for the international exhibition World on a Wire.
The illuminated squares of matte glass in the design of the exhibition Assuming Distance are, among other things, a reference to computer game spaces, which inspired Anya Leonova and Sasha Puchkova of Digital Object Alliance to develop an online game based on the exhibition. Their project references Miscreated, a popular game in which the player cannot win or reach the end, but can try to extend their life in a post-apocalyptic world filled with threats. The player is attacked by zombies and other players and can be poisoned or die of starvation.
Still Alive offers a similar experience. Located within a single game map with no special navigation tools, the artists’ avatars will try to find each other in the virtual universe and help each other survive.
The artists will play the game in the Glass Room. It will be streamed in Garage Auditorium and on the Museum’s YouTube channel.
