A universe of imagination, community and research
In this year's big exhibition #DKgame - Screen trolls, assassins and train surfers, the Royal Danish Library zooms in on the history and importance of computer games to our lives. Based on the library's collection of more than 4,000 Danish-produced computer games from the 60s to today, the exhibition will pay tribute to the internationally recognised and often experimental, playful and narrative games of the Danish game industry.
The exhibition opens up the history of Danish computer games as a universe of imagination, community and research. In the exhibition, visitors can delve into the fascinating universes of computer games, explore the impact of computer games on other parts of our lives, hear the researchers' take on how "gamification" affects our everyday lives and, not least, try playing games from five decades - from the screen troll Hugo to the VR game What the Bat?
