Summer/Fall 2026

Exhibition Dates: August 3 – September 26, 2025
Reception: Friday, September 4, 5:30–8:30pm

This iteration of CyberFrames explores games and gaming as sites of escapism through constructed identity. ExtraLives considers the ways digital spaces allow us to rehearse alternate versions of ourselves and reality: through avatars, simulations, roleplay, customization, and world-building.

The goal of this exhibition is to frame gaming beyond entertainment, and as a dialect that transforms how we move through contemporary life.

CyberFrames activates the front windows of the gallery, and is interactive within. In this exhibit, the general theme of Games/Gaming is addressed through a variety of approaches, such as aesthetics and process. This exhibit was originally intended to run only during our Summer Game Development Workshop, but was extended as a result of the quality and wide variety of submissions received. Artists were invited to submit experimental film, animation, video art, performance documentation, game documentation, functioning game URLs, etc.
