Operation Jane Walk is based on the dystopian multiplayer shooter Tom Clancy’s: The Division. The game’s digital war zone is appropriated with the help of an artistic operation: the militaristic environment is being re-used for a pacifistic city tour. While walking through the post-apocalyptic city, issues such as architecture history and urbanism are being discussed.
