During the exhibition tour, Prof. Olia Lialina presented her semester project “A Film? A Game? A Visual Novel?”

A film? A game? A visual novel?

A film becomes a game. A game becomes cinema. A novel responds to your decisions, and a website transforms into an experience that you don’t read, but observe.

Worlds are turned upside down: 3D becomes 2D. A first-person shooter becomes social commentary. Cozy becomes horror… a woman suddenly becomes three cats ;).

These transformations show how the boundaries between media are blurring and how our view of video games is being reinvented
