I neglected to say that this mooted, future event will be in the context of an exhibition devoted to digital games and gaming.  I should have made that clear.

So essentially this is a museum exhibit that's an excercise in real-
time anthropology? Like if you staged a rave in the museum space an 
invited people to come along to watch people from that subculture dance 
to pop music?

I think it's very commendable and sporting for the museum to give 
gamers a venue, but what's the stated purpose in terms of museology?
