Any% Multideveloper — Reality in Polyphony
This exhibition explores the out-game resonating in polyphony beyond such a gamified world. 'Any%' is a speedrunning term: to aim for the fastest possible game clear by exploiting every available means — bugs, glitches, and tricks — regardless of completion or collection rates. To break the circle and raise the flag of the true ending, the adventurers keep on developing the Any% extended future of this reality.
