Video Games Emerge as a Cultural Force

Following the resounding success of the Czech-made kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, video games are once again capturing widespread attention as a significant cultural medium. Beyond mere entertainment, their influence is increasingly felt in the realm of fine arts.

“Enter the Room”: where Gaming Meets Art

The Enter the Room exhibition at Prague’s GHMP House U Kamenný zvona, running from March 28th to September 14th, 2025, delves into this fascinating intersection. The exhibition examines how the interactive nature and narrative structures of video games are shaping the artistic expressions of a new generation.

A gallery Transformed: Visitors Become Players

Enter the Room reimagines the gallery space as an expansive, dynamic game surroundings. The exhibition evolves in response to visitor movement and choices, actively engaging them within the artwork itself. This innovative approach positions games not just as a form of leisure, but as a refined cultural language, a catalyst for inventiveness, and a means of critically reassessing our understanding of space, time, and interaction.

Games are not only understood as entertainment, but as a cultural language, a tool of imagination and a means of re -evaluation of our perception of space, time and interaction.
