Creative Crossroads: Forever Garden - Game Art Exhibition
Forever Garden is a digital garden artwork where flowers live forever. Welcome to experience game art in Pori! Free entry!!
The Creative Crossroads Game Art Exhibition presents games as playable works. In this exhibition, a game is not just entertainment or presentation material, but an experiential artwork that the audience participates in by playing.
The first work in the exhibition is Forever Garden, a digital community garden by Tomi-Mikael Kahilakoski.
Forever Garden is a playable game art piece where players grow a shared digital garden. Every planting leaves a mark in the shared world. The garden grows real flower species, and when a flower blooms, it becomes part of the world forever.
The work explores permanence, memory, community, and how people build shared digital spaces. Every garden tells something about its creator – and the time in which it was created.
Once bloomed, lives forever.
The exhibition is part of the ongoing Creative Crossroads game art exhibition series, presenting one game at a time at Pori Kaupunkiolohuone.
