Opened on September 8, 2018, it was jointly organized by the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) and Urban Design College FRom CAFA Art Museum: 'The exhibition presents a variety of nearly 100 pieces of games from around the world, including “Minecraft”, “Monument Valley”, “Kingdom Come: Deliverance”, “Sky”, “Gorogoa”, “Cuphead”, “Ylands”, “Folding Fan”, “Mortise and Tenon”, “DragonBox Big Numbers”, “Human Resource Machine”, and so on. ' ' importantly it reveals a new cultural pursuit in the international game industry under a global information era, that is, to concern about social culture on the aspect of game creation and production. Game is an ancient and ever-changing field, and also a cultural lifestyle which is closely associated with human intelligence, imagination, sense of competition and adventurous spirit that are required in people’s life. With the rapid development of the game industry and its increasing market demand, there are at least two issues exist in the process. One is the language style of games; the other is the social and cultural responsibility that games should bear. '
