Artist Lena Klabukova believes that currently there are no inspiring strategies in the ecological discourse and proposes engaging with recycling and the overproduction of ideas with help of video games.

As part of the public program for The Coming World, Garage Museum of Contemporary Art presents artist Lu Yang’s latest work, the video game The Great Adventure of Material World.

As part of the Game Club program accompanying the exhibition The Coming World: Ecology as the New Politics 2030–2100, Hideo Kojima will present the game Death Stranding, new from Kojima Productions.

As part of The Coming World Game Club, which is part of the exhibition The Coming World: Ecology as the New Politics 2030–2100, Garage invited artists, developers, and game designers to take part in Eco Jam, a hackathon dedicated to the creation of video games or prototypes of games addressing the themes raised by the exhibition.

Performance and expanded discussion for the Game Club section of The Coming World.

Soon after the release of Death Stranding, a new, intriguing, and apparently metaphysical, video game by Hideo Kojima, Alexander Vetushinsky will discuss the philosophical challenges Kojima addresses in his work and his unique methods of responding to them.
