Bordergames

Fiambrera Obrera


You play Bordergames in your computer, and soon you will be able to play it online. But Bordergames is more than just a videogame, it is also a proposal for the self-organization of your most immediate memory and a means to turn your own experience into the material of experimentation, debate and intervention, in other words, it is the means to construct your own experience as situation.

The piece is designed by the artists themselves with free software. From the start, it has been developed with the fundamental complicity of groups of migrant adolescents who little by little have taken control of the project. In this sense, Bordergames fulfills its proposed function as a tool for those most directly affected by those same borders to take the initiative and construct themselves the narratives that steer the game and its situations. It is programmed on C++, and compatible with windows xp and soon (as soon as we get more funding) with the most common operating systems (Windows, Mac, and of course, Linux).
