BONUS LEVELS: A Collective Tower for Art Licks Weekend

BONUS LEVELS is a collaborative video game by Lawrence Lek Studio that celebrates the independent spirit of galleries and artist-run project spaces of Art Licks Weekend.

The White Building, Event Space, Queen's Yard, London E9 5EN

LAUNCH: Thur 3rd October 6-10pm |
with live audio-visual performances by Chris King & Lawrence Lek / Clifford Sage / Viktor Timofeev

EXHIBITION: Fri 4th - Sun 6th October 11-6pm

ROUNDTABLE: Sunday 6th October 3-5pm

–

The game revolves around a virtual tower that contains twenty-one galleries from across London, and the architecture and curatorial concept of each physical space is reflected in its virtual double.

From white cubes to dark performance spaces and psychogeographic maps, the game invites each player to explore an alternate reality. In this zone, light is saturated, sound is heightened and time and space are collapsed. Over the course of Art Licks Weekend, the tower becomes a mashup of perspectives for the digital flaneur.

Bonus Levels launches on Thursday 3 October as an immersive gaming zone, with interactive performances starting at 7pm. A Videogame Roundtable with invited participants will take place on the closing Sunday from 3-5pm. The game will also be available to play online and in the site-specific installation.
