Saman­tha Fox Strip Pok­er, Leisure Suit Lar­ry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, Sex Games, BMX XXX, GTA Hot Cof­fee Mod, Tomb Raider Nude Patch­es, Bone Craft. The Linz based art col­letive qujOchÖ shows a jour­ney through the his­to­ry of sex­u­al con­tents and rep­re­sen­ta­tions in com­put­er games at a no bud­get test exhi­bi­tion. This serves as a start­ing sig­nal for a more inten­sive exam­i­na­tion with media and gen­der the­o­ret­i­cal­ly ques­tions: What shocked 30 years ago? How did sex­ist meth­ods of rep­re­sen­ta­tion devel­op? Where are imag­i­nary par­al­lels to games nowadays?

Shown are orig­i­nals, test reviews, game instruc­tions and much more. Fur­ther­more there is the pos­si­bil­i­ty to gam­ble on exhib­it­ed con­soles and devices (Atari 2600, Com­modore 64, PlaySta­tion 2, IBM-PC and iMac), includ­ing with­in an off lan bat­tle. A read­ing group is ded­i­cat­ed to the the­o­ret­i­cal reflex­ion. And at the open­ing on Octo­ber 31st there is a con­cert by Zogholy Bros, oscil­lat­ing between Game­boy sounds and Synthwave.
