ĒTERNÅL GAMES • 01xPacMan

Remaining playful always is key! • Stephan Breuer's innocent act of re-framing opens the question of our expanding relationship to the virtual. Through a metaphysical representation of gamification, Breuer looks at the softwares and algorithm that have been developed for social media, and video games that have triggered multiple stimuli and a universal need for instant gratification. • The juxtaposition of ancient precious renaissance frames and iconic video games give a naïve approach like in painting and awakens the wide-eyed child in all of us. Breuer's work is hyper-conceptual and ludic, art is not rigid it is in constant flux, the way the kid in us is forever curious and free in recomposing our realities. • Breuer’s NFT collection "Ēternål Games" is asking if digital art on the blockchain is just an ephemeral game for the privileged, are we trapped in a simulation, or will this emerging technology profoundly re-frame our relationship to art and to reality?
