Contributing to the recent rise in interest in independent computer games culture, students of RMIT's School of Creative Media's Animation and Interactive Media (AIM) postgraduate program are excited to announce the creation of "The Exposition of Mimsy", an innovative realtime 3D multiplayer play space. "The Exposition of Mimsy" is a fun play space were users can interact with each other and the various games within the space. Set in a giant gorge, the colourful "Exposition of Mimsy" is an exaggerated fantasy world where players encounter ideas of floating, suspension and magic.

A screening is taking place at 6pm on May 19th at the AIM studio Building 9, Level 3, Room 22 RMIT University, City Campus. Crn LaTrobe and Swanston Streets, Melbourne. The project draws on themes from Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass" and Expositions as the past's view of the future. Operating as an exploratory multiplayer space, the game invites players to jive in the disco area, follow the twists and turns of the hedge maze, have fun with the giant ball area, explore the dense jungle and fantasy forest and race their friends in the bubble car track. It also showcases floating islands and a hanging lake, which encourages users to suspend their disbelief and embrace a world where anything is possible. The aesthetic sensibility takes inspiration from Art Nouveau but in a bright childlike way.
