Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen starts German Gaming Exhibition "Choose your Player"

The Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen in the southwestern German state of Baden-Württemberg at the shore of Lake Constance is hosting one of the biggest museum exhibition on gaming and culture in the German-speaking area. From May 16 onward, the exhibition "Choose your Player. Spielwelten von Würfel bis Pixel" (Game worlds from cubes to pixels) will engage with the phenomenon of games as a cultural medium for escaping the present and immersion. "It explores spaces of identity, examines how games reflect power relations between propaganda, war and resistance, as well as their contribution to shaping the future and the emergence of new communities. Zeppelin games from the museum's own technology collection from the early 20th century to the present are juxtaposed with works by contemporary artists and gaming classics from game boards to consoles and critically categorised", as the museum explains.
