This year’s A MAZE. / Berlin features Enchanted Controllers - a special exhibition on the practice of creating alternative controllers - or alt.ctrl.

The controller as an input device is our tool to interact with the game world. It shapes our idea of what a game is and what it means to play. A MAZE. / Berlin 2024 invites 7 international artists and artist groups to present their reimaginings of playing a computer game: from skateboarding through anaglyph cyberspace to shooting a candle light in the dark to following multi-dimensional beings into an infinity mirror - get immersed in the world of Enchanted Controllers. Curated by Paul Schmidt.
