Leo Castañeda x Otro Inventario: Herramientas (Levels & Bosses) | Sept-Nov 2022

Locust Projects presents Herramientas (Levels & Bosses), a transmedia gaming prototype by Miami-based multimedia artist Leo Castañeda with Otro Inventario. The immersive installation at Locust Projects invites visitors to play the videogame's prologue, premiered in an environment that echoes the development of game itself and traces the evolution of the game through oil paintings by the artist, virtual reality experiences, sculptural gaming furniture, immersive video, wall drawings, and more.
The Herramientas exhibition at Locust Projects represents the next stage in the multi-year Levels & Bosses game development project originated by Castañeda, and serves as the launch of a new fine-art video game studio, Otro Inventario, the first of its kind in Miami.
The exhibition is on view through November 5, 2022, Wednesdays-Saturdays from 11am-5pm.
