Cloudbox (2021)

As a collective, Steambao seeks to subvert the dogma in interactive art through the medium of video games. Playing on the artworld’s expectations of the very potential of video-game mechanics and on the regular game-players expectations of interactive controls, the collective explores themes of agency and human connections. In their current works, they challenge audiences with the discombobulation between vision and sound and the duality between violence and voyeuristic joys in a naïve and deceptively soothing manner.
