"Game Change: Videogames as Art Medium and Inspiration"
JEPSON CENTER February 27 – April 8, 2012
Videogames have provided fertile ground for contemporary artists have modified existing videogames or game technology, designed games themselves, created movies and narrative works within game worlds or employed the visual vocabulary of videogames in other media. This exhibition brings together visual artists who are utilizing these strategies, changing gaming and art in the process. Works include a series of game poems for vintage Atari systems by game designer and theorist Ian Bogost, videos exploring the nature of games and virtual worlds by Mary Flanagan, independent games from New York arcade Babycastles and independent developer Mark Essen; Greg Borenstein’s exploring alternative uses of recent game technology such as the Kinect, a projection game by Andrew Hieronymi, video by Mark Callahan and Baden Pailthorpe, and two dimensional game-inspired work by Shinji Murakami, Joe Alterio and Federico Schneider."
