Safe in the Shell is a curated project dedicated to the collection, preservation, and mediation of video games as cultural objects.
At its core is a growing collection of games, consoles, and collectibles that are documented, contextualized, and made publicly accessible.

We regularly present new items from the collection, accompany them through calm unpackaging and archiving formats, and publish complete playthroughs as part of a long-term digital archive.

This is complemented by context, interpretation, and exhibitions that present video games not as fleeting entertainment, but as cultural artifacts.
