A Maze

A MAZE. established since 2008 is an international arthouse label in the field of games and playful media that includes independent and alternative game projects, virtual realities and other digital and playful dimensions. Interdisciplinary game and virtual reality centered events and productions transcending media channels and cultures are the signature feature of A MAZE. We’re producing, consulting and curating festivals, exhibitions, conferences, workshops, showcases, game jams, artist in residence programs and publishing magazines. A MAZE. is representing the current experimental and artistic movement of thoughtful and reflected playful content in games, virtual reality and playful media. With our festivals, exhibitions and the pop-up in various creative scenes in countries like Hongkong, Croatia, Romania, Palestine, Russia, South Africa, Kosovo, Cuba, UE, Kenya and Ukraine we’re building on a global movement of an independent and meaningful games culture. Our annual festival A MAZE./ Berlin highlights controversial and subversive games and their creators/ authors with the A MAZE. Awards in seven categories. With our selection we foster a diverse and artistic taste beyond the mainstream. Currently we are working on a arthouse games and immersive art platform called A MAZE./ SPACE.
