Operation Jane Walk

OPERATION JANE WALK is based on the dystopian multiplayer shooter “Tom Clancy’s: The Division”. In this work, the game’s digital war zone is humorously and artistically appropriated. Bound by the rules of the games software, the militaristic environment is being re-used for a pacifistic city tour. The urban flâneurs avoid the combats whenever possible and become peaceful tourists of a digital world, which is a detailed replica of Midtown Manhattan. While walking through the post-apocalyptic city, issues such as architecture history, urbanism and the game developer’s interventions into the urban fabric are being discussed.
