A late night opening at Brighton Museum blending fiction with reality and digital with the physical.
A major part of Lighthouse’s work at Brighton Digital Festival this year centres on the work of game designers and artists, Hide&Seek. We are bringing Hide&Seek’s Tiny Games – games designed for real world play in urban space – to Brighton. Working closely with Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, we will be presenting the work of Hide&Seek and other creative practitioners at the Museum as part of Digital Late.
At the Digital Late, games designers and artists will show how stories, ideas and games that began their life on digital networks, cross over into the real world. Blending fiction and reality, digital and physical, the Digital Late will be the culmination of Lighthouse’s programme for Brighton Digital Festival. Enlivened by DJs and performances, the Late will be a showcase for the games created by the young people who take part in our Game Jam. Their games will be available for all to play, with designers presenting their projects in the Museum. Hide&Seek’s Tiny Games, fun, accessible and family-friendly games, co-designed with young people, will bring the space to life.
It includes:
- A performance by Sarah Angliss – musician and purveyor of scientific oddities and obsolete machines.
- A reading by Jeff Noon – writer, dubtext remixer, lo-fi avant-pulp scientist.
- Tours and stories by Chris T-T – critically lauded radical underground musician and storyteller
- Tiny Games and playful experiences by Hide&Seek, made together with a collection of talented young game designers
- A new artwork made by Jeff Noon and Tom Armitage – creative technologist and maker of beautiful things
- Music from DJ Alabaster Crippens of Audiosyncracy and the Young Hanoverian Mobile Disco Association
