This Land is a videogame that reverses common gaming conventions of depicting trees as either a resource to be extracted or an obstacle to be cleared. Rather it celebrates trees as symbols of the natural divine and indigenous resistance against extractive colonial capitalism. As beloved beings. The project was exhibited at the Mosaic Rooms – London.

Nothing Old, Nothing New is a series of experimental videogames that play on the relationship between real estate development, colonialism, capitalism, and history making. The project was initially inspired by the “redevelopment” of downtown Beirut by real estate company Solidere after the Lebanese civil war, and how that redevelopment destroyed more buildings than two decades of war. Different segments of the project were exhibited at Ashkal Alwan – Beirut,  Brief Histories – New York, Sursock Museum -Beirut,  Daegu Art Factory – Daegu, Alt Space Loop – Seoul. The project in its entirety was exhibited at Darat Al Funun – Amman.
