6 Why This Exhibition? Die weltweit erste Ausstellung zu Frauen als Game Designer und Game Artists: o Antwort auf die verbreitete Vorstellung, Frauen würden weder gamen noch Computerspiele designen o Wahrnehmung des Publikums erweitern durch alternative Spiele und ihre Visionen The aim of `XYZ is to celebrate women s contributions to the advancement of the video game medium by highlighting their influence and accomplishments. Today, women comprise only 10 to 15 percent of the gaming industry, and the percentage of those participating in the actual design process is even lower. Nevertheless, women continue to serve as major creative influences in the mainstream video game industry as well as in alternative genres.
