This summer, Serpentine will push the boundaries of arts and technology – with a game powered by Tezos and an immersive exhibition, by a new generation of leading Brazilian artists.
Massan’s collaborators include vocalist and music producer LYZZA, who designed elements of the soundscape and created a soundtrack based on the game, inspired by themes in each level. The project and exhibition are curated by Serpentine’s Arts Technologies, and is conceptualised by artist Gabriel Massan. Gabriel Massan’s practice often involves collaborations with musicians as they have also worked with Portuguese electronic music producer Trikk, by contributing vocals to  a genre-blending, digi-funk song called ‘Mata Mata’.
The exhibition will offer an access point to play the game on bespoke stations designed by Massan to resemble sculptures from Third World. The exhibition is envisioned as a real-time and responsive environment, featuring tactile and social installations with sound, light, gaming stations and screens displayed in the space. Influenced by the character’s navigation into the game, the gallery will represent the navigation of the game’s character FUNFUN.
