About the 1, 2, 3 Playtime publication:

Through workshops, lectures, and multidisciplinary endeavors, the project 1, 2, 3 Playtime 2023–24 explored the intersections of play, games, and art. This collaboration between Inter Arts Center (IAC) and Region Skåne brought together twelve participants from various artistic disciplines and the cultural heritage sector to explore and develop game-based art as form, pedagogy, and critical reflection. The programme centred on three themes: art through games and gamified experiences, robot relationships in art, and world-building in digital media. Participants created both individual and collective works, exhibited during Malmö Gallery Weekend 2024. The publication gathers reflections and reports, offering insights into the processes, ideas, and possibilities that emerged during the project.

About the film "Zonen":

In Andrei Tarkovsky’s film "Stalker" (1979) three men enter the forbidden Zone in search of a magical room that will fulfil one’s innermost wish.

In "Zonen" (2024) we follow Nina who, after a shocking glimpse of a vertical truth, finds herself in the precarious Zone, a both inner and outer terrain which reflects the travellers own state of consciousness. With Tarkovsky’s film as a map and guide she starts searching the Zone for answers. She finds herself in a conversation about time and space with a spiritual medium and a quantum physics professor, at a Maundy Thursday dinner where Tarkovsky filmed "The Sacrifice" and confronting her daemons in the ruins of an old abandoned mine. All along the room is calling her onward, or is it her own heart? What will she find in that innermost room?
