FROG: Playing Art Game Jams Bring Indie Games to Belvedere
Game jams centered on the theme "Playing Art" took place at eight Austrian universities in spring 2026, organized by SUBOTRON, Games for Change, and the Belvedere. Young developers crafted indie games inspired by the Belvedere art collection, which they will showcase in person at the museum. The VR installation "I Spy With My Little Eye – Duette für einen Kopf und zwei Hände" encourages visitor participation. Attendees can try game prototypes for free, with some available online. This event is supported by the Bundesministerium für Wohnen, Kunst, Kultur, Medien und Sport and the Bundeskanzleramt.
