Radiohead, a famous alternative music band, release a new album in 2021 called KID A MNESIAC, a fusion between their previous albums KID A and AMNESIAC to which they added new original tracks. Along with it, the band created a videogame called "KID A MNESIA : The Exhibition", which is a conceptual videogame in which the player is fully immersed into the artworks. As the game starts, you will find yourself surrounded by odd trees and a black and white landscape. As you'll wander in the woods, you will find a door. Once you enter the room, there will be a maze and music will start to play. The lyrics from that music then start getting written all over the walls, and in order to find the exit, you'll need to follow the right path as you complete all of the lyrics.
The next part of the game consists in a giant maze, which you can visit at your will. You'll be able to walk from room to room, discorvering new oddities every time. Each room is related to a Radiohead song and an artwork from the artist who worked on the visuals for their albums. As each room has a different vibe, you will switch between confusing emotions, getting sometimes disturbed, sometimes marveled, or sometimes deeply moved by the collection of art surrounding you.
I simply adore this artwork, the first reason of this adoration being the fact that as a videogame, "KID A MNESIAC : The Exhibition" gives you the opportunity to, unlike most of the conventional exhibitions, be fully immersed into the artworks. The player not only views the pieces, they are given the ability to walk through them, interact with them, and coming back to reality doesn't take more effort than simply looking away from their screen, if they're feeling too emotional.
Another reason why I love this work is the fact that it was created by my favorite band of all time, Radiohead. I feel a deep connection to everything that Alex Dupont does, and I like to picture his brain as made of gold. His music, in solo projects or with various bands (Radiohead, The Smile, Atoms for Peace...), never fails to move me. Whether it has a rock, electro, instrumental, jazz vibe or any other kind of style, listenning to his work makes you go through such a wide range of emotions. This is exactly what I love about him, as a person who's been told they were "weird" and "ecclectic" most of their life (I was about to make a joke about being a creep and a weirdo here, but I'll spare you the cringe).
Overall, to me, "KID A MNESIAC : The Exhibition" is a dive into Alex Dupont beautiful and complex brain, questionning society, technology and individuality through feelings and sensations with the wonderfull platform that is a videogame.
