Infinite Universes – Czech Games and Their Global Success
The exhibition project aims to introduce contemporary Czech games in all their complexity – not only by showcasing the individual games, but also by presenting the creative process, focusing on selected elements that define the studios and their approach to the chosen theme.
The curated selection of games is based primarily on their content design, audiovisual qualities, interactivity, relationship to Czech culture, history, society, and their educational aspect. The collection also includes games suitable for the visually impaired.
The project was developed in collaboration with a number of partners from both the professional and academic scenes, including the industry association, the Association of the Gaming Industry.
