Long March: Restart

Feng Mnegbo's interactive exhibition, Long March: Reset, shown at the MoMA, is an interactive, digital video game reimagined. The artist combines familiar imagery from Street Fighter II and Super Mario Bros with Communist China Propaganda motifs. The player takes on the role of a Red-Army Soldier, infusing the storytelling with political, and social relevance.

Mnegbo's project serves as a prime example of how interaction design, storytelling, and culture can merge together to create meaningful experiences that bridge the physical and the digital. As an artist, and educator, part of one's role is to make experiences, and art that are responsive to to the environment they are in. From an art educational standpoint, crafting space that is responsive to its visitors culture, beliefs, and background is integral.
