Serpentine presents The Delusion, the most ambitious project to date by London and Berlin-based British artist and game designer Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley.
The Delusion will debut a groundbreaking video-game commission, a multiplayer immersive experience run on game engines that explores the themes of polarisation, censorship and social connection. It will combine satire and absurd humour with cooperative gaming and participatory theatre to explore the real-world impacts of societal division.
Placing the audience at the heart of the experience, the project invites participants to pause, discuss, and reconnect. Conceived as a live “community play” and meeting space, the exhibition will encourage open discussions, shared reflections, and ways to engage with some of the most challenging sociopolitical issues we face today.
The exhibition is free, but due to its popularity we recommend booking a free timed slot.
Venue: Serpentine North, West Carriage Drive, London W2 2AR
