Fantasia Malware is a collective and label that makes fantastical, magical, corrupt, chaotic software. They develop and publish experimental video games and live performances. The members of Fantasia Malware are Chloê Langford, Jira Duguid and Gabriel Helfenstein. This year they have hosted four events in the series Fantasia Malware Presents - centered around using videogames in live performance. For each of the first three events, one member of Fantasia Malware presented a solo project and invited an artist from the growing community of people using videogame technology to make weird art. The final event features a new game performance developed by all three members of Fantasia Malware together. Fantasia Malware Presents is a tiny cross section of the fizzing underbelly of video games - a late capitalist medium wrenched free from the grasp of the marketing team to make boundless alien dream worlds.
