L'art des acccidents

Playing with the game rather than playing the game: this is the critical diversion proposed by the artist Julien Prévieux in the "Musée du bug" or "Bug museum", where he invites us to explore the role played by errors in video games. From players' mistakes to faults in computerisation, the experience of gaming comes up against various bugs: inaccurate information, invalid positions in time or space, pranks and unexpected variations which move beyond and enrich the strict framework of the original rules. Julien Prévieux is the winner of the 2014 Prix Marcel Duchamp and will have his own exhibition at the Centre Pompidou this autumn.
