A few words about Digital Games for Adults: Defining the body

How would we capture a body today? Would we compose it or deconstruct it?

Throughout history, artists have attempted to depict the human form through artistic creation using colors, materials and techniques. As part of the weekly thematic online meetings of the Goulandris Foundation, Digital game for adults: Defining the body, we look at the works of ten 20th century artists from the B&E Goulandris Foundation Collection.

Using selected works from the Collection as stimulus and the “thallo” method as a tool, participants get acquainted with the world of art, through a process reminiscent of a game. The activity aims at the cultivation of the feeling that older adults remain creative, the transformation of introversion into expression, the strengthening of self-confidence and the encouragement of the use of digital tools while highlighting the value of the visual arts.

An initiative of the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation, implemented by seveneleven and with the support of TIMA Charitable Foundation.
