Forgetter
Yang Jing, Kwan Tsz-wai Alan (Hong Kong)
<i>Forgetter</i> is an exploration video game in which the art collection from dslcollection seeps into the narrative. Set in the near future, players take up a job at a technology company as cleaners of dead artists’ brains, identifying and removing traumatic memory blocks in their minds, in order to recycle their brains for newborns. Many memory blocks are constituted by Chinese contemporary artworks.
