In 2024, the game 'Across the TechScape' is presented in the exhibition 《This is Not Just Local - Tactical Practices》. in Busan Museum of Contemporary Art. You can play an 8-bit game in which a cute and brave LAB’s persona will overcome the technology challenge in the seventh tactic, "Polyphonic speaking.”

《This is Not Just Local: Tactical Practices》

In light of recent concerns over the decimation of local culture, Busan MoCA introduces This Is Not Just Local: Tactical Practices in its endeavor to explore and thereby reconfigure the meaning of locality beyond the hierarchical formula of center and periphery. The exhibition is designed by a number of curators and artists from Busan’s local community, who came together to form a preliminary research group and executive committee in the hopes of actively questioning and challenging the concept of locality instead of stopping short at offering superficial interpretations within the framework of state-centric paradigms. By presenting shared practices of one another’s experiences, encounters, and alliances through the concept of “tactics,” drawn from studies of war, the exhibition investigates a subset of themes such as ① Strategic point_the rumored spot, ② Embodied memory, ③ Network into the future, ④ That landscape as it always were ⑤ Anxiety-Coordination-Coexistence ⑥ Sense of Boundaries, and ⑦ Polyphonic speaking. Tactics refer to the readjustment of assigned cultural structures, through which the exhibition aims to investigate questions, experiences, attitudes, and zeitgeists that are connectively derived beyond geopolitical locales rather than being tethered to geographic places.

Across the TechScape

Based on the awareness of the hierarchical and biased technology culture of our society, the process of entering the world of ‘techno-sphere’ and overcoming various difficulties is expressed in the form of an 8-bit game. The game consists of a narrative structure that overcomes various difficulties encountered in the process of learning and approaching technology - psychological barriers, closed environments, social prejudice, etc. Players encounter various technologies, discover unique perspectives on technology, and build new self-motivated technology spaces.
