What If We Made A Video Game And It Was Like Dark Souls And All The Characters Were Artists (WIWMAVGAIWLDSAATCWA) is an enclosure of the audiovisual inputs of reality into the space of art that formally unifies performance and exhibition with the practices of organised interpersonal relationships. WIWMAVGAIWLDSAATCWA is shown as a live-action game demonstration and audiovisual performance by @flufflord (Tea Stražičić), @pirate_sheep (Marta Stražičić) and @baojiaxiang (bod [包家巷]) featuring an Intel Realsense depth camera and songs from bod’s 2019 EP, Music for Self Esteem.

Based on work developed in residency at Wysing Arts Centre. bod (包家巷, baojiaxiang, Nick Zhu) is an audiovisual artist from Tucson based in Berlin who has released on Quantum Natives, Knives, Danse Noire and Yegorka.
