Ars Ludicra is an independent, experimental video game poetry project.

The project started in 2020 as an effort to create new understandings of both poetry and literary translation by translating poetry into video games. It has since expanded to include original works of video game poetry, a showcase of selected “Art Carts” created by other artists, and a new space for “Features”.

All pieces are playable on and have been strictly created around the constraints of their console of choice. On this website, the poems are playable in browser using web-based emulation.
