COPERNI LAN PARTY

COPERNI LAN PARTY documented by Quentin L'helgoualc'h For the Fall Winter 2025 collection, Coperni organised a LAN party (Local Area Network), celebrating one of the defining social events of 90s internet subculture and the sense of community it fostered. 200 gamers, seated alongside guests, connected together to transport everyone back to a time long forgotten in today’s hyper-connected digital world: the heyday of multiplayer computer gaming and the LAN parties where it all began. Impromptu and unruly, in sweaty basements and cramped halls, these iconic gatherings embodied a golden era when computers were synonymous with freedom and optimism, and when the internet was a realm built by humans. Special thanks to all the gamers, and also to Mel, Nikof, Gozulting, Gentlemates and La Mode en Images for their participation in this project.
