Operation Jane Walk

The starting point of the work OPERATION JANE WALK is the dystopian multiplayer shooter Tom Clancy's: The Division (Ubisoft Entertainment 2016). The game's digital combat zone is misappropriated through an artistic intervention. As far as the software allows, the military-composed environment is peacefully repurposed in the sense of a city tour. The flaneurs avoid the battles as far as possible and become peaceful tourists in a digital world that is precisely modeled on reality. In the context of the performative lecture, architectural history, urbanism and the interventions of the game developers in the simulated New York are made the subject of discussion. In cooperation with Robin Klengel.
