Visitors to the Victoria & Albert Museum gallery will be able to immerse themselves in the Game of Thrones land of Westeros while watching people splatter each other with ink when a video games exhibition opens this year. Announcing details of the show on Friday, Tristram Hunt, director of the V&A, said video games were “one of the most important design disciplines of our time”. “Contemporary video games are strikingly innovative, uniquely creative and commercially successful – making a huge social and cultural impact across the globe,” Hunt said. To coincide with the exhibition, the V&A said it was inviting applications from UK-based artists and designers to be its video games resident between October and June 2019. • Video games: Design/Play/Disrupt will be at the V&A 8 September-24 February.
