Fuera de Juego Alicia Valladares (@vl.alca ) Project Room 1996 destaca como un año lleno de acontecimientos tecnológicos y de innovación en este ámbito lúdico por “la burbuja del punto-com”. Los Tamagotchi son lanzados por Bandai Japón, personajes que Valladares introduce en sus pinturas, añadiendo una forma de afecto digital, una vida pixelada que depende del cuidado constante del usuario, contando con una interfaz mínima, es decir, una mascota virtual que inevitablemente va a morir. El juego se basaba en sostener, no en ganar. En el cuerpo de obra de Valladares, el Tamagotchi opera como metáfora de la responsabilidad afectiva en la tecnología y, al mismo tiempo, nos recuerda la vulnerabilidad con la que podían existir estos videojuegos descontinuados.  El programa del cuarto de proyectos de PALMA es curado por Escombro (@eeescombro ) Fotografías por Registro Foto de Obra (@registro.fotodeobra ) — Offside Alicia Valladares (@vl.alca ) Project Room The year 1996 stands out as a moment of intense technological innovation in this playful realm, marked by the “dot-com bubble.” That same year, Bandai released Tamagotchi in Japan. Valladares introduces these characters into her paintings, adding a form of digital affection: a pixelated life that depends on the user’s constant care. With a minimal interface, the Tamagotchi serves as a virtual pet that inevitably dies. The game was based on sustaining rather than winning. In Valladares’s body of work, the Tamagotchi serves as a metaphor for affective responsibility in technology, while also reminding us of the vulnerability these now-discontinued video games once embodied.

Fuera de juego - Alicia Valladares @vl.alca Project Room Inauguración: miércoles 28 de enero, de 8 a 11pm Fuera de juego reúne un cuerpo de obra que reconfigura el imaginario del videojuego de PC de los 2000s como escenografía simbólica del presente. Los paisajes, objetos y personajes remiten a sistemas lúdicos entremezclados y desprogramados, convertidos en escenarios que obedecen a una simulación sin desenlace.

Exhibited at the group show GAME, GAMBLE & PLAY @hilbertraum 19.9-28.9.2025 “Payoff Matrix”, composed of four parts that represent four alternative endings within a ludic-subjective narrative constructed from images of the artist’s personal archive. In these works, Valladares revisits the technique of resin coating on canvas, adding heat transfer and photo transfer, maintaining kinship with smooth screens and collagraphy. From disordered compositions, non-linear arrangement of characters and elements, through multiple layers of resin among them, the artist — under a logic of finding meaning within the game — questions the function of visual language and free play in artistic development. 1.-Payoff Matrix series III/IV, 2025 Mix media on canvas coated with epoxi resin 28 cm x 22 cm 2.-Payoff Matrix series I/IV, 2025 Mix media on canvas coated with epoxi resin 28 cm x 22 cm 3.-Payoff Matrix series IV/IV, 2025 Mix media on canvas coated with epoxi resin 28 cm x 22 cm 4.-Payoff Matrix series II/IV, 2025 Mix media on canvas coated with epoxi resin 28 cm x 22 cm

💥SAVE THE DATE Vernissage Friday 19.9 at @hilbertraum 18-22 hrs💥 Game, Gamble & Play a group show curated by @ellen.deelaine @sascha_boldt and @holmfriebe 🫀🫡thank you very much for the opportunity to be part of this amazingly talented selection of artists. “You don’t have the cards. No other sentence characterizes the present so well. We are back in an age of geostrategic game theory. At the same time, gamification is increasingly drawing us towards our infantile play instinct. At the center of the exhibition is the game as a concept and scope for action. Game refers to the structured game with clear rules, gamble refers to the risk and the use under uncertain conditions,play emphasizes the free, creative game without a fixed goal. The works on display examine how these different forms of play are translated into artistic processes. We are showing eleven artistic positions - from painting to digital art and installation.” ♠️♦️🃏🎮👾🖲️
