Cory Arcangel at MMCA Seoul: Super Mario Movie

Running from 23 May – 10 September, group exhibition 'Game Society' at MMCA, Seoul examines how the grammar and aesthetics of video games have influenced contemporary art and visual culture, and permeated our society and daily lives over the five decades since the launch of the first video game. 'Game Society' takes a closer look at the process of powerful synchronization between society and video games, and the acceleration of this due to the pandemic. It explores the context in which society becomes a virtual space, and the reality of those spaces becoming part of everyday life, examining what experiences games can communicate and share with us.

Two works are presented by Cory Arcangel, including Super Mario Movie (2005), a modified Super Mario Bros NES cartridge.
