to ece

to ece is a virtual and collective curatorial platform.

In this virtual space designed like archives and exhibitions, three islands shelter art pieces from students of the École des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux and others, in the form of a video game. Musics, sound ambiences, paintings, drawings, sculptures, or poetry are transferred from the "real" world to this virtual place. When the game inhabits a "real" exhibition space, it tries to recreate an arcade as it existed before personal computers and consoles, when multiple people came together for a journey to another life.
In the "real" world, our degrees, our jobs, and even our genders arbitrarly define if our ideas are admissible or not. But in this virtual world every players and contributors are equal. The free software ethics' and the open source culture encourage us to write and contribute to the code that we need so we can decide what it does and the roles that we want to play within it.
This place is rather vast and empty, you can send your work to v.grill@ebabx.fr and it will be added somewhere on the three islands of the game. You can also come back to this page later to see if a collaborative coding session is scheduled.
