Make, Play & Share

Glad you could come and check out the progress we are making building the Museum of Moving Art.

Please feel free to look around. There are currently no exhibitions as we are still making the platform. If you like what you see, create an account and help make MOMA a great place to make, play and share.

But what is it?

If we were to say "MOMA is what you make it", we'd run the risk of you rolling your eyes, moving you're mouse and clicking somewhere else. But here at MOMA, we like taking risks!

Oh good, you're still here; then let's continue our tour of the Museum.

Unlike most museums, MOMA doesn't exist as a spacious public building, instead it is major international public artwork. Originally conceived as street art with theatrical tendencies, the Museum of Moving Art has evolved into an expansive role-playing-game (RPG) built around a central narrative. It is that narrative which creates the story world into which you have just entered.

This wiki brings people together to play games that involve exploring and developing characters and the story world which they inhabit, some games also involve the making and exhibiting of artworks.

Entry level games allow beginning players to have fun by exploring a variety of roles, activities and story-lines. In more advanced levels of the physical stream, gameplay is directed to the creation and placement of pop-up installations and structures which have the capacity to move. This is co-ordinated by some players acting as curators.

You don't have to be an artist to play at MOMA, but if you want to you can have fun pretending.

The real-life role playing and story telling also intersects with the digital realm through addons and mods to pre-existing video games with the possibility of completely new digital games developed within the conceptual framework presented here.

Digital art is also being created, curated and exhibited here at this wiki.

Get Off to some Flying Art

Amelia Earhardt - a source of inspiration.

Currently good progress is being made researching the possibility of integrating the dramatic and cinematic potential of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 into the MOMA story world. It looks very promising!

Also the aviation theme is being developed as part of a physical table-top board game called The World of Art, with a virtual version to be played online at the https://tabletopia.com/ platform.

The more you play, the deeper you go. Find out how famous aviator Amelia Earhardt found her way into the MOMA story world, and how she is honoured on the Island of Patonga.
