Step into Scarce City, an immersive interactive experience that blends art, technology and thought-provoking gameplay. Set within a stunning 3D-printed environment made from recycled plastic, this innovative exhibition challenges perceptions of success through a light-based resource management game with a twist.
Premiering at Light to Night 2025, Scarce City isn’t just a game; it is a powerful exploration of our relationship to resources and what it means to have enough in a world obsessed with scarcity.
