The “Hiddenware” exhibition, created by Spanish artist Robert Cervera, will take place on January 31, 2026, at SPACE Ilford in East London. This unique event combines the talents of local bedroom gamers and live musicians to create an interactive audiovisual experience. The exhibition will run from 4 PM to 7 PM, inviting attendees to immerse themselves in a world where gaming meets live sound art.
At the exhibition, visitors can expect to see live gaming sessions accompanied by real-time soundtracks composed by musicians such as Anna Carter and Barnaby Slade. This integration of gaming and music aims to enhance the overall experience, drawing parallels to the early days of cinema, where sound and visuals worked together to tell a story.
The atmosphere will be lively, with the sounds of gameplay blending seamlessly with the original compositions performed live.
A standout feature of “Hiddenware” is a unique musical instrument crafted from PC liquid cooling tubes. This innovative device will produce sounds that respond dynamically to the gameplay, adding another layer to the interactive experience. Attendees will be encouraged to engage with both the gaming and musical elements, making it a participatory event rather than a passive viewing experience.
Entry to the exhibition is free, making it accessible to a wide audience. However, due to the expected high attendance, advance reservations are recommended to secure a spot.
Refreshments will be provided, allowing guests to enjoy a drink while they explore the creative fusion of gaming and music.
