This interactive project within Roblox is an homage to Aristarkh Chernyshev and Alexei Shulgin’s Artomat, where every viewer had the opportunity to create their own art objects in a digital space and “place” them in the greatest museums in the world. Artcore offers a similar opportunity, moving a gaming narrative into the matrix of modern technologies with maximal engagement of the viewer-player. WIthout changing the principles of creating art objects, the artists go further by creating a simulacrum of the art market, where works can be more than exhibited—they can also be bought and sold.

For the exhibit, a condensed version of the game was made where each visitor can try on the role of the artist without getting lost in the complex mechanisms of the art market.
