Game Art: Anita Fontaine's "#2: DAD" and "#2: DAUGHTER" (2013)
Anita Fontaine's new project is a "Looping video portrait of a family made inside videogame: The Sims". The first two episodes, DAD and DAUGHTER are available. In the former, "a failed rockstar has broken into the neighbors apartment to steal soda and watch TV as they can no longer afford either items. The oven catches alight while Dad sits trapped in a videogame stupor." In the latter, "the daughter, originally created to have "free spirit" characteristics has abandoned the idea of wearing clothing. She is obsessed with being in nature, but has lost her job a number of times due to the fact that she cannot stay inside, and must be "connected to nature". Splendid.
