Triennale Game Collection


The Triennale Game Collection is a series of original independent video game anthologies, published for free in 2016 and 2022 at the occasions of the 21st and 23rd Triennale di Milano and of the Milano Game Festival.

Concept

The collection is introduced as "a virtual exhibition of video games" showcasing their "artists’ experimental approach to interactivity". The games are developed specifically for the collection by various creators from around the world. The project is overseen by Pietro Righi Riva and the studio Santa Ragione.
