Museum of the Moving Image will present the world premiere of Angela Washko’s The Game: The Game, a dating simulator that pits players against several men modeled on real-life seduction coaches, who vie for their attention in a bar setting.  Composed of scenarios, techniques, and language from texts and instructional videos created by these men, The Game: The Game flips the script on the processes of some of the world’s most prominent pick-up artists and allows players to explore, expose, and defuse their techniques. The game is at turns funny and alarming, an experience heightened by a disorienting original score from Xiu Xiu. 

 

To mark the opening of the installation, artist Angela Washko will give a free talk on Wednesday, January 10 at 7:00 p.m. to discuss her creative process, concluding with a participatory play-through of the game. The show runs Jan 10 - March 25th, 2018.
