GAME ART: HANNAH PIPER BURNS'S INTERIOR STROLL (2016)
Interior Stroll is a mixed-media interactive installation created with Unity "designed to collapse physical space and memory space, body and consciousness. More walking meditation than walking sim, it is set in a symbolic cavespace shaped by the psychic runoff from years of malignant intimacy". The artist has created an innovative interface featuring a silicon toy + silicon putty that reminds me of Cronenberg's gamepod in eXistenz.
A second controller manages the player's gaze. It's an appropriated trackball, cyberskin toy, and a chalcopyrite clitorissphere:
