In order to present a collection of works by artists who constantly reflect on the concepts of digital culture and the new media, the collective exhibition Playmode takes use of sculptures and installations/videos (or contemporary art and game), a part of them interactive, to reflect on the impact of new technologies in society. This show, which has Filipe Pais and Patrícia Gouveia among other curators, will be at Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia (MAAT), in Lisbon, until February 17th, 2020. This collection of works from several artists was installed in three rooms. Some of the chosen artists were Pippin Barr (New Zealand), Lucas Pope (United States), Auriea Harvey and Michael Samyn (Belgium), and also Portuguese artists like Ana Vieira, who presents O desenho da menina a fugir do seu suporte (2014), a 2D animation projected on the walls.
