Ghosts in Shells: Seventeen Gallery Show Explores Gameplay and Identity
In “Many Ghosts, Many Shells,” curator Rebecca Edwards presents a series of gaming experiences at London’s Seventeen gallery that explore identity and selfhood through worlding and simulation. The works by David Blandy and Petra Szemán, John Powell-Jones, and Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley position gameplay as “a radical tool for rethinking action,” Edwards argues, by interrogating power and erasure in digital archives, and uncovering shared imaginaries that transcend cultures and generations.
