Serpento

Interactive installation developed for the digital façade of the Medialab Prado Cultural Centre. A massive, urban, multiplayer version of the classic 'snake'.

SERPENTO is a massive, urban, multiplayer version of "snake". A reinterpretation of one of the most mythical arcade games of digital culture, which escapes the autism of our devices to occupy the big screen of Medialab-Prado and its square.

In contrast to the individual character of the "snake", SERPENTO is a game for many. In fact, the more the merrier! Each person who enters the square becomes a virtual replica of themselves. The square becomes the screen and the screen becomes the square. It is precisely in this hybridisation between the physical and the virtual that social action arises.
