Inspired by fandom and the companion characters of Baldur’s Gate 3, love.exe explores how we can seek solace, connection, validation – and love – in the digital realm.
Audiences are invited to navigate a playful and immersive installation space where shrines devoted to these iconic videogame characters are infused with a vibrant collision of geek culture, kitsch romance and Jarra Karalinar Steel’s signature Blak style.
Audiences are asked to write their own devotional tribute to their favourite companions on the website – creating a digital bank of love letters celebrating fandom and fantasy.
love.exe traverses the romantic and emotional landscapes that emerge when we fall deeply into another world, and deeply in love with its inhabitants.
