Player Two Has Entered The Server

In a world increasingly shaped by code, competition, and coop modes, "Player 2 Has Entered the Server" explores how Thai and international artists engage with video games-not merely as media, but as metaphors, social arenas, and systems of meaning.

Organized by Stack, in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Bangkok, this exhibition brings together works that employ the grammar of gaming-avatars, mechanics, environments, and interfaces-to investigate human relationships, digital labor, surveillance, identity, and resistance.

The two-day event comprises: film screenings (machinima), installations, workshops, talks, and audiovisual performances, the two-day event reminds us that every player enters a system already in motion.
