Guided Tour of Level Up: Futuristic Fiction

  • Museum of Design Atlanta 1315 Peachtree Street Northeast Atlanta, GA, 30309 United States (map)

In-Person

Can video games help us imagine the future? Can they warn us about ways we might go wrong or help us make decisions about how to design a better world?

Join us for a tour of our current exhibition, Level Up: Pixels, Play, & Progress as we discuss these issues.

We’ll kick off the tour with an overview of the exhibition as a whole, then dive a bit deeper into selected video games that imagine diverse futures and tell stories that help us to experience what those futures might be like.
