The summer courses at Thyssen have kicked off with ‘Museos y Videojuegos’ (Museums and Video Games), from today until Friday 14 July, aimed at museum educators, university students and adults with the objective of combining art and technology to showcase the aspects related to the industrial culture of videogames
For decades videogames have captivated and inspired many people thanks to their narrative and design, leading to a large number of followers. This has led to the gamer world being studied and analysed as if it were a cultural and artistic work in museums and art centres, generating a significant debate between specialists and different cultural sectors. This course aims to open up the debate as to whether museum could be the perfect space to experiment with videogames, converting them into an ideal space to break conventional structures and to promote, via new platforms, collective and enriching experiences.
