1700

1700 is a computer game that thematizes the storming of the Pizzeria Anarchia, an occupied building in Vienna. In July 2014, the decision was made to storm the building with 1,700 operatives (later corrected to the number 1,452), with a tank engaging in battle with nineteen punks and moving level by level through the barricaded floors, as if in a game. The sheer abundance of police wandering around the building in a rather clueless and aimless way was rendered using mechanisms of the old classic video game Lemmings, for the obstacles in the game 1700 primarily emerge through planning errors on the part of the police. The game was released on the Internet free of charge and already had over 10,000 players during its first day online.

enibolas

Sabine Harrer aka enibolas conducted research as part of her doctoral work and dissertation on the topic of grief and the experience of loss in video games. This led to the creation of Jocoi, a game that translates the symbolic imagery of a group of grieving women into video game dynamics. Harrer is also involved in the Copenhagen Game Collective, which is a collective of game developers that organizes cultural games events in Scandinavia, in addition to smaller mixed-media and folk gaming projects. The tablet drawing game Cunt Touch This was created by members of the CPH Game Collective and broaches the subject of desire and gratification.
