MEGA e.V. – Museum of Electronic Games & Art (DE)

Media are bearers of cultural memory. This also applies to electronic games, which have become a mainstay medium and an essential mode of cultural expression that plays a formative role in many people’s childhood memories.

MEGA’s Ludic Memento exhibition is a journey through time from the birth of electronic games to the present. It shows how important it is to conserve, restore and reconstruct gaming systems as a means of avoiding digital amnesia.

Digital Cultural Heritage

The objects on display allow for a profound substantive encounter with the history of technology and with the visual, auditory and hapitic aspects of the gaming experience. The exhibition proposes a new form of cultural transmission and, together with the Retro/per/spektiven exhibition, lodges the claim that this mission is beyond the purview of conventional institutions of commemoration and preservation.
