NEVER ALONE - PAOLA ANTONELLI ANNA BURCKHARDT P...

Our lives are increasingly lived on screens  and every one of our electronic interactions is
mediated by a designed interface  which can be buggy and incomprehensible or inviting and
accessible. Like other ubiquitous everyday tools  these interfaces are seldom recognized as
objects of design?and even less as objects of interaction design. In video games  however  in
which play? is an essential feature  users are acutely aware of their relationship with the
interface  making video games compelling examples of interaction design. Published in
conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art  Never Alone: Video Games as
Interactive Design explores the impact of interactive design by examining 35 video games
created between 1972 and 2018?from Space Invaders (1978) and Pac-Man (1980) to The Sims (2000)
and Minecraft (2011). An overarching essay by the curator Paola Antonelli presents the
pioneering criteria by which MoMA has chosen these video games for its collection  as well as
the protocols for their acquisition  display  and conservation. The richly illustrated plate
section is divided into three sections that analyze input devices (keyboards  joysticks 
buttons)  game designers  and players  and each game is accompanied by a short text
illuminating its significance in the history of the medium.
