Resistència Videolúdica

Resistencia Videolúdica is a collective interested in creating spaces for reflection, critique and connection around video games with an interdisciplinary and anti-capitalist perspective.

Their lines of research are framed within the analysis of the neoliberal political load of the mechanical systems of games, the problematic of the conservation of digital interactives and video games and their relationship with archives, and the study of the video game created in times of social, economic and ecological crisis. They investigate these questions with the intention of creating bridges between artistic disciplines and understanding common cultural spaces as key elements in the dissemination, creation and access to video game knowledge outside the classical and hegemonic structures close to the video game cultural industry.
