Real virtual DIGAREC In-Game Photo Gallery
 
 
The real virtual DIGAREC In-Game Photo Gallery is a virtual social gallery space that shows a number of in-game photographical works which were produced by students of European Media Studies. The exhibition presents the results of their practical explorations of the medium of in-game photography as participants of three university seminars on the subject focusing on different topics: “Medial Environments, Milieus and Landscapes” (class of 2016), “Machines_ _Ethics; _Poetry; _Politics; _Poetics” (class of 2018), “Media Reflexivity” (class of 2019/20). This exhibition exists only online and makes use of the virtual meeting tool Mozilla Hubs. It is designed by Lars Pinkwart and curated by Sebastian Möring.

In-game photography has been a research focus of DIGAREC (Digital Games Research Center at the University of Potsdam) since 2016: We have been researching the subject in the context of international workshops and university seminars. In recent years the scholarly, artistic, as well the economic interest in in-game photography has been on a constant rise. More and more academic literature gets published, exhibitions are being held in prominent museums such as the Centre George Pompidou, and ever more games come equipped with a photo-mode by default. In-game photography“describes a multitude of practices and technologies in which photography and video games Interact“ and it contains diverse practices such as „placing a DSLR in front of the unfolding events on the screen, using a video game's photo mode to take a picture, or playing a game where the use of the camera is simulated“ (Möring & de Mutiis 2019:70).
