Videojuegos: The Two Sides of the Screen – An Engaging Exhibition in Mexico City

This exhibition explores the profound impact of video games on contemporary culture, examining the evolving boundaries between the physical and virtual worlds. It delves into the economic, sociocultural, scientific, and artistic implications of gaming over the last decade.

The exhibition 'Videojuegos. Los dos lados de la pantalla' (Video Games. The two sides of the screen) offers an extensive exploration of the territory generated by video games in recent decades, highlighting their role as a motor for technological and scientific change and their significant cultural and societal impact. The exhibition is structured around two key axes: 'Inside the Screen,' which delves into the complex development process of a video game, from scenario and character design to narrative, music, and animation, drawing connections to artistic influences from Piranesi to Dalí. 'Outside the Screen' examines the profound repercussions of the video game industry beyond the virtual world, focusing on player interaction, the relationship between real and virtual identity, the phenomenon of eSports, and the implications for society. A connecting section, 'Connecting both sides of the screen,' addresses the evolution of interfaces as the primary element linking the physical and virtual worlds. Originally opened in Mexico City, the exhibition was previously hosted at the Museo Materia in Sinaloa, attracting over 58,000 visitors. It is presented in collaboration with the Centro Cultural de España en México (CCEMx) and the Centro Nacional de las Artes (CENART), featuring interactive installations and a virtual gallery for digital visitors.

The exhibition is presented at multiple venues, the Centro Cultural de España en México (CCEMx) and the Centro Nacional de las Artes (CENART). Specific ticketing information is not detailed on this page, but visitors can explore a virtual gallery online.
