ALT+TAB is an arcade racer driven through an office sim
Tamás Hegyi's cabinet was one of seven works in Experimental Game Cultures' master exhibition at the Angewandte in Vienna, July 1 to 4.
ALT+TAB went on show July 1 to 4, 2026, at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Tamás Hegyi built it inside a repurposed arcade machine. Steering wheels and pedals drive players through an office simulator and a dark-fantasy game, and the race bleeds between the two.
It was one of seven works in AAA', the master exhibition of the Experimental Game Cultures program. The show ran during the Angewandte Festival, in the university's buildings at Georg-Coch-Platz and Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz.
Eperke Remetei-Filep showed Candytrail, a two-player card game about consent and vulnerability. Players leave candies on a path of see-through cards and tell each other stories. Sebastian Alexander Konzett showed Holobiomics, which treats bodies as multispecies landscapes. Lea van Hall took a title from Olga Ravn's novel The Employees.
The other three were 78 Kilometers by Alexandra Gašparovičová, memoryflash by Martin Gius and Affective Game Mechanics by Miro Wallner.
The university posted photos of the final projects on Oct. 8.
