If you've been following the posts about political videogames from the gamesblog and others, you might be interested in the fortchoming exhibition Videogames with an Agenda at London's Curzon Soho cinema. The art show takes place between 16 October to 7 November and is curated by political games makers Ian Bogost and Gonzalo Frasca, editors of Water Cooler Games.
In short, the exhibition challenges us to consider games that make us think, exploring independent and commissioned work by artists, designers and wannabe games industry professionals who want to play (and not in a childish way) at subversion.
Included in the list of available software are titles which question political motives, challenge current conceptions of mass destruction and confront daily work practices. If you happen to be there to see the big-business-busting documentary The Corporation, Videogames with an Agenda should nicely pad out a righteous evening.
