WALLHACK × PARCO GAME CENTER

Placing Game Culture in a Cultural Space

Game culture does not exist in isolation. It overlaps with fashion, music, art, and design — and few institutions reflect that convergence as clearly as Shibuya PARCO.

Located in the center of one of Tokyo’s most influential cultural districts, Shibuya PARCO operates as more than a commercial space. It functions as a platform where contemporary culture is exhibited, discussed, and experienced.

Within this context, PARCO GAME CENTER reframes game culture not as entertainment alone, but as a creative and cultural system.

The collaboration between WALLHACK and PARCO GAME CENTER exists at that intersection — where performance objects meet exhibition thinking.

Glass Mouse Pads as Cultural Objects

The project introduces three glass mouse pad designs created in collaboration with Japanese artists AsahiNa, WOK22, and witness.

Rather than approaching the mouse pad as a purely functional surface, the collaboration treats it as a designed object — one capable of existing within a cultural space without explanation.

Each design reflects the artist’s visual language and relationship to game culture, while remaining grounded in WALLHACK’s core principles of performance and material precision.

The pads will be revealed on site and we will showcase them here afterwards, so stay tuned. 

On Events and Presence

The project is presented publicly in Tokyo as part of PARCO GAME CENTER, a limited-time program inside Shibuya PARCO that explores contemporary game culture through exhibitions and events.

From February 6 to March 2, the exhibition will run as a standing display, featuring and selling the latest glass mousepads SP-005 and CR-005, alongside a curated selection of past limited editions.

On February 14, the WALLHACK popup event will mark the debut and first sale of the collaboration glass mousepads, accompanied by a talk session featuring the participating artists, WALLHACK’s brand director, and guest speakers.

The program concludes with live music in the same space, extending the project beyond display into a shared, physical experience.

Further information about PARCO GAME CENTER and the broader program is available via PARCOGAMES official site.

Wallhack’s Design Practice 

The WALLHACK × PARCO GAME CENTER collaboration does not stand alone. It continues Wallhack’s long-term practice of developing design-led glass mouse pads, each shaped by its own context, collaborators, and constraints.

This evolving body of work is documented in the Wallhack Museum, a curated archive that treats each release as a distinct moment rather than a repeatable product.

Across these projects, performance remains constant while visual language and cultural positioning evolve.
