Reza Zefanya Mulia (ID)

The Work of Art in The Age of Instastory seeks the possibility of how an artwork could be appreciated properly when it has been developed into a short-term digital content that only lasts for 24 hours on social media.

Alterplex

Hakan Lidbo (SE)

Alterplex is a strategic board game where the board is invisible, except seen through the pieces. The moving properties of the pieces are decided by the animations of the board, constantly changing, following a hidden pattern.
